I also need disks for the megadisk. I found some utilities that can suposedly format these disks. these utilities are very old (1992) and can only be used from the command prompt also the instructions are not all that helpful; they seem to be written by some who doesn't speak english very well. I almost got it to work but it might have some incompatibilities with the command prompt in windows xp or it could be that I didn't have any 2dd or 2hd disks.
If you can figure out how to use it properly please post back with the details.
this is the translated version of the site click on ISC-UTILS.ZIP to start download (suprisingly the instructions are in english). I posted this in case the file doesn't upload

| I have found a way to make these floppies!! Here is what worked for me:
First download the file off the link above and extract to the directory of your choice, you may want to write it down as you will need it later.
Get a win98 boot floppy (the one I used was 98SE) I have xp so I still suggest a 98 boot floppy.
Boot up from the floppy and press SHIFT+F5 at the boot menu to get to a command prompt.
Remove the boot floppy and insert the floppy disk you want to format for the megadisk after the A:\ prompt appears.
get to the directory you extracted the file to, this will depend on your computer (documents and settings is shortened to docume~1). Mine was C:\docume~1\default\desktop\megadisk
You would get there by typing this(rember this depends on your computer):
c:\ <enter>
cd docume~1 <enter>
cd default <enter>
cd desktop <enter>
cd megadisk <enter>
Once here you need to pick what type of disk you have (2dd or 2hd) (2hd's are the most common and probably the kind you use) and what Megadisk DOS you want to use (consult number 5 in the utils.txt in the download file)
now at the prompt all you need to type is one of the four following commands:
2hd md55
2dd md55
2hd md49b
2dd md49b
after this press a key and your done! (it won't take long to format about 10 seconds.) |
