I have been trying to reply to the 10 Aug request for infomation on using
1.2M drive on the Z100 by the mailer here doesn't seem to like the address.
(I tried using REPLY and direct addressing both).

After the second or third reject I sent a copy to info-hz100-request which
is where our system receives INFO-HZ100 DIGEST from.  That was on 11 Aug and
that message seems to have gotten lost in the system.  I would appreciate it
if you would post the following to the digest or if you can find my previous 
message, please post it instead.  Thankyou.

I have a 1.2M drive connected to my Z100 which works just fine.  The Z100
format program formats disks to 1.25M which is not compatable with (I)nferior
(B)ut (M)arketable AT format.

Available by anonymous ftp from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL in directory PD1:
is file MFORM100.EXE which is a self extracting achrive in which I have placed
the pin connection infomation and some utilites to allow the Z100 to read, 
write and format the AT 1.2M format.

The source code is included for the software and I have released the entire 
package to the public domain.  I have not heard or read of any bugs or problems
with this package but do read the documentation as there are some limitations
and warnings.
