Possibly, but formatting anything on the MM/1 is iffy.  The OS9/68K PC format 
disk driver has a lot of "design shortcuts", which is a nicer term than 
"bugs."  I'm not sure if the OSK Format command will even do /PC0.  Well, it would 
probably give it a good try.

Mine can no longer write HD (1.44M) floppies at all.  And 720K OS9 format 
floppies are flaky on both my Coco and the MM/1 (each disk has a few files 
renamed BLOCK3.BAD, etc.).  --Mike K.
