Hi. 

I decided to write a driver for the DEC QBus RXV21 8" floppy controller.
Unfortunately I have only two controllers, no 8" drive nor medium. I
thought that this would'nt be a problem, as it is possible to connect a
5.25" drive to a 8" floppy controller. But the medium needs to be
reformated. Now that I have the controller doc, I had to read that the
RXV21 can not format a floppy. It needs preformated media.

Would it be possible to use some other machine* with 5.25" floppy drive
to format the 5.25 media an way that the RXV21 can read it?

* Other machines are QBus MicroVAXen, VAXstation 2000 and PDP11 with
RQDX or PeeCees.
