A CAM-based program to format removable media (including UFI floppies) track-by-track wouldn't have that problem, and would be able to verify, give you progress indications, etc. I hope the simple camcontrol example above serves to demonstrate the problem is more or less cracked. I'm happy to live with a simple shell script wrapper with the above for now, or even just an alias for csh: alias ufdformat 'camcontrol cmd \!* -t 140 -c "04 17 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00" -o 12 "00 A0 00 08 00 00 0B 40 00 00 02 00"' Really going to sleep now.
