However, format will show several k worth of bad sectors. To make the hole, use a hot soldering iron and carefully shave off the excess melt from both sides of the diskette. This is far easier, if a little smellier, than drilling. prabhaker mateti, case western reserve university, cleveland, oh 44106 {decvax,cbosgd,sun}!mandrill!pm pm@alpha.ces.cwru.edu (216) 368-2816
