A short QL SuperBASIC program that automatically formats two microdrive cartridges (one in each drive) for a user-specified number of times. Repeated formatting removes ‘stretch’ from new cartridges and conditions the tape surface, increasing capacity and long-term reliability. Experienced QL users recommend formatting new cartridges 10 times.
