[Coco] DSKINI glitch while using physical drive 1 and SDC DOS 1.5

[Rietveld Rietveld]

So far I have just waited until the head stop stepping. That way I know the formatting is complete. But motor stays on even after stepping is done.   A reset and DIR1 confirms a successful DISINI format

But can you hear the drive head stepping occasionally?
Try setting the appropriate High-Speed poke for your CoCo before doing the
DSKINI and see if that makes a difference.

High-Speed poke for CoCo 1 or 2:
  POKE  65495,0

High-Speed poke for CoCo 3:
  POKE  65497,0
