They are for use on Bondwell 12 and 14 computers only, running the standard Bondwell BIOS. They examine a byte in BIOS memory at BIOS + 33H, to check for the drive being properly set to the format being done. If it is not, the program will give an error indication, and invite you to change the format of the drive with the Bondwell supplied SETUP.COM program. These formats have been tested on the Bondwell 12 and 12A, and on Kaypro and Osborne computers, and they have been able to be written to and read from successfully. If you have any problems, there is a possibility that the setting for Gap 3 is not completely correct; it is based on the best information that I had available. The setting in the program for Gap 3 on the Kaypro is 39H presently, and for the Osborne it is 6BH. If you want to try a different Gap 3, the byte to change is located at 03C5. As currently set-up, these programs cannot be modified to format any other than those that they are set to, due to the error checking that is built into them.
