ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL ENHANCED DOS UTIL.
The Elite Three is capable of performing any of
the format types, but the resulting diskette is
not interchangeable with a non-Elite Three
drive. For instance, an Elite Two diskette
formatted using an Elite Three cannot be used by
an Elite Two drive. In addition, the “special”
diskette cannot even be used by an Elite Three
drive unless the drive is redefined using
PROFILE to be of the same type as the formatted
diskette.
Once a diskette has been formatted in a parti-
cular way, it can be used in any drive which
also has “yes” in the above table for the parti-
cular type diskette. Once again, this means
that, with the exception of the Elite Three,
lower capacity diskettes can be used in higher
capacity drives.
Although this is true regardless of the way the
drive is defined under the currently in use DOS
(excluding the Elite Three) it is bad practice
to use one type of diskette in a drive which has
been defined differently. Programs may or may
not rely upon the drive definitions within the
DOS to determine the way in which the drive, and
in turn the diskette, should he treated.
If the format type is to he the same as the one
displayed by FORMAT (the same as the way the
drive is defined), just press RETURN>. If you
wish a different format type (taking into
account the above table), press the format type
nunber listed in the menu without following it
with a <RETURN>.
