I have a Coco (not Coco II) with a RS disk and controller.  It seems
to run anything using the RS disk format (e.g. Telewriter 64) without
any problems.  But when I try to format an OS9 disk it usually hangs
somewhere in the process, and just keeps reading the same track continuously.
I have also had problems with CRC errors on OS/9 disks written by the drive.
Does anybody know what the OS/9 format utility does, and what might cause
it to hang?
