When I attempted to format an optical disk for our Storage Dimensions WORM drive today, I noticed that the DOS choices only went through 5.X. We upgraded our software for DOS 6.0, but apparently the formating software is not there? Thanks for any help you can offer.

The 5X will work. There didn't seem to be any need to rewrite the thing to include the choice, and with 2.0 coming out next week it was what the heck. DOS 5.X and 6.X have the same file format.

DOS4 type of format includes DOS 4, and DOS 5 and up. This includes DOS 6 and DR. DOS. This will be changed to reflect the new operating systems. You should have no problems. Laszlo
