:d {options{
d specifies the
dr"lve
to
be formatted and
'IS
a number from
(J)~7
(with Built-in Hard Disk System the
number
is
from 0-5)
d
is
optional,
if
omitted, TRSDOS-II will prompt for the drive
number,
{options}
is
one or more of the following
ASS=
tells TRSDOS-II not
to
prompt
jf
the specified drive •
contains data.
If
ASS
is
omitted, TRSDOS-II prompts
before overwrit'lng any ex'istent data,
10=
disk-name tells TRSODS-II the name
to
assign to the
disk. If omitted. TRSDOS will
be
used
PW=
password
tells TRSDOS-II the master
password
to
assign
to
the disk,
If
omitted, PASSWORD
is
used. The
master password allows access
to
all user files (via the
PROT
command),
DIR= nnn tells TRSDOS-il where to place the primary
directory, For hard disks,
nnn can be any number
between
0-300; for floppy diskettes, 1-71
If
omitted,
cylinder 44
is
used for floppy diskettes, cylinder 130 for
hard disks.
ALT= nnn tells TRSDOS-ll where to place the alternate
directory,
If
nnn= 000, an alternate directory will not be
created.
If
omitted, the formula directory + 3
is
used to
compute placement of the alternate directory. For floppy
diskettes, 3 represents three tracks, for hard disks, 3
represents three cylinders. For hard disks,
nnn can be
any number between
0-303; for floppy diskettes, any
number between 1-74 The default value
is
52.
SIZ=
nnnn tells TRSDOS-II how many filenames
to
allow
for
in
the initial directory. For hard disks and floppy
diskettes,
nnnn can be any number between 1-1220
If
omitted, 180
is
used for floppy diskettes; 336 for hard •
disks
If
SIZ=
nnnn
is
specified, TRSDOS-II rounds off
to
the next multiple of
