[hatari-devel] Formatting floppies with TOS in Hatari, should it work?

[Eero Tamminen <oak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Regarding this:
http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=26740&p=255632

Hatari v1.6.2 says this when TOS tries to format a floppy:
	FDC type III command 'write track' does not work yet!

Whereas latest Hatari version doesn't output anything, but TOS
still tells that formatting the floppy failed [1].  Is that supposed
to work, and if not, could there be some warning about specific
missing functionality?

[1] "disk may be write protected or unusable".  Same thing with
all TOS versions.  However, saving desktop.inf to the same
(newly created) floppy image works fine though, so disk writing
doesn't fail completely.
