What format does a floppy disk formated on a Sun Sparc IPC using the
fdformat command have?  More importantly, is there any way to format a
disk in DOS format?

[[Ed's Note: See v9n142 for info on mtools. -bdg]]

My situation is I have a Sun at work and a Next at home, and I would like
to be able to transfer files between them via a floppy disk.  My floppy
drive on the NeXT will read DOS format.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please send your responses to my e-mail address if possible.

Thanks in advance,
Keith
