files as well as the system tracks will be
erased. Format will normally detect an already
formatted 16 sector disk and ask you to verify
that you want the disk erased. This includes any
DOS 3.3 or Apple Pascal diskettes you may
have had lying around. If you plan on format-
ting an Elite Two or Three diskette (higher
capacity) you should check the Recommended Disk-
ettes section of this manual.
If you’re an Elite Three only user, you may have
noticed that you are about to do a standard
Apple Disk ][ format (which means doing some
writing) on an Elite Three which is only sup-
posed to be read compatible. This is true.
However, since this procedure will not expect a
non—Elite Three to read this diskette, it will
all come out okay in the end.
IMPORTANT! A safe idea before continuing is to
remove the enhanced CP/M master and Enhancements
diskettes (and any other already recorded disk-
ettes) from the drives, but remember to reinsert
them once the formatting has finished.
Once you have a diskette, take out the CP/M
master from drive A: and put in the blank disk-
ette. Then type:
A: <RETURN>
FORMAT will respond with:
Insert disk to be formatted in drive A:
