Hi

the problem is that formatting requires using the "write track" FDC 
command, which is not supported for ST/MSA format so far where only 
sector content is stored.

But when I added the Pasti/STX support, I also added support for write 
track. In that case a .wd1772 file will be created that records the 
write track / write sector commands and act as an overlay of the STX file.

So, in the case of this user, using the STX versions of Cadaver and 
Powermonger should work.
