ELITE SERIES USER MANUAL ENHANCED DOS UTIL.

The enhanced FORMAT utility is designed to re-

place the INIT command which is part of the

original DOS. The new utility is capable of

formatting a diskette just like INIT did, but

the new one can also format the higher capacity

diskettes used by the Elite Series drives.

To get into the FORMAT utility, boot up your

enhanced DOS diskette containing FORMAT and

type:

BRUN FORMAT<RETURN>

This will work under both Integer BASIC and

Applesoft BASIC.

Once DOS has loaded FORMAT, the utility will

sign on with:
