I could do it if I was at home, but I don't have all the manuals at
college with me. So, I'm attempting to rely on memory (I'm pretty sure
I've done something like this with RWTS before). I know a lot of
times, instead of using the boring INIT command to format a new disk,
I would use the RWTS version just for kicks.
Too bad you really can't have as much fun with new computers. :)
