 Yeah but that's laying an egg somehow w/o the
chicken. What I was thinking was tacking some code
into a rom chip. After POST/before bootstrapping,
cause it to format a floppy. Umm the rest I haven't
figured out yet...
 I'm not sure that a Vic can read IBM disks, but I
would think so. If those images I downloaded 5000
years ago are useful after a fashion...ummm the rest I
haven't figured out yet. :@
