Is it possible to format a  720 K 3 1/2" diskette to the IBM standard
on a 9133 connected to a PC by HPIB?  I have one of these, and it
seems to read and write properly, but won't format.

Also, is it possible to get software to read, write and format the HP
format 3 1/2" diskette on a PC with the appropriate drive?
