23.013 Will I be able to format and partition a Zip disk using the standard 6.0.1 tools disk?
Yes.
If you have a RamFAST, you also have the option of using the RamFAST
utilities. These are on ROM on the RamFAST board. They should be copied to disk
or hard disk and run from there. RAMFAST.SYSTEM will handle ProDOS partitioning
and low-level formatting.
Since Zip disks are already formatted, you will, mainly, be concerned with
setting up partitions. On a 100MB Zip disk, the best partitioning is three 32MB
ProDOS volumes. Setting up partitions takes less than a minute. A low-level
reformat of a 100MB Zip disk may take 10 minutes or more.
