Re: /dev/fd0u1743 help
hi ya
superformat will format 1.44mb floppies to 1.77 or higher if needed
tomsrtbt disks also has the ability to format more space into the floppy
you can also modify the default mke2fs options to allow more data
( not as much overhead .. sometimes the extra 100 bytes is all you needed)
