BUGS.TXT

Known bugs and problems (in 0.91c / known by Brian or Eric):

1.  Will, under some circumstances, fail to format due to dma overruns.
    (should happen much less often in 0.91 - please report remaining errors!)

2.  The FAT32 format may not be compatible with MS's operating systems.
    Any suggestions on what is wrong are welcome.

3.  There should be error handling that allows you to retry when format or
    disk read / write errors happen (beyond the default "try 5 times").

4.  CD-ROMs and network drives give the same error message when you
    try to format them. Could be done in a nicer way (Joe C. knows how).

5.  Floppy format to other sizes than the drive default often fails.
    (seems to work much better in 0.91c - FINALLY: Had forgotten 720k-in-
    1440k case and non-standard sectors-per-track handling was broken...)

6.  Format after FDISK seems to screw up in /q mode - maybe sectors per
    cluster set wrong? BPB / DPB set wrong? Formatting twice after FDISK
    results in the 2nd attempt to fail miserably.
