Mmm. Those are bad news. At least it always worked for me. I'll do some testing
using 2m.
By the way, even linux is not guaranteed to work formating such floppies. It
fails with my computer (the new one), while fdformat and 2m work fine.

As far as i have tested, it works. Of course, it needs more testing worldwide.
I'm going to enhance rawrite2 to allow dumping several files to a floppy, the
way a "cat file1 file2 >/dev/fdxxx" works.
