format

default void format()

Format a disk. For most disks, this is simply a wipe to all zeros. If this disk has extended format (such as nibble formats), this is the opportunity to write out that format.

NOTE: Adapter type devices have to be cautious about what device is responsible about formatting. For example, a UniDOS disk is 2x400K volumes on an 800K block device -- if they defer formatting to the 800K block device, a format on one volume also wipes out the other (in this case, do not defer to the "parent"). However, if the block adapter contains a nibble-based TrackSectorDevice, the actual formatting needs to get to the nibble device so it can lay down sector markers and the rest of the track structure.
