@everythingalsocan@techhub.social Now I need to hunt a VGA Copy 5 to check whether there’s a TSR supplied, to allow MS-DOS to read the “special” formats. Like FDFORMAT has one.

@everythingalsocan@techhub.social Yes, indeed: VGA Copy 5.3’s documentation states that VGAREAD.EXE is used under DOS to work with “special format” disks, like 1.72 MB 3.5“ HD, or 820 KB 3.5“ DD. This seems equivalent to FDREAD.EXE from »FDFORMAT«. https://archive.org/details/vgacp530
