There will eventually be an update to SDC-DOS once I determine the best way
to go about fixing the problem.
For now, if you need to format real floppy disks using SDC-DOS you will
probably want to enable the appropriate High Speed poke beforehand. The
alternatives are to wait a few minutes for DSKINI to complete or press the
Reset button to interrupt the verification pass (when stepping of the head
slows to once every few seconds).
