Since OS X DOES NOT SUPPORT FLOPPY DISks, it is impossible to format 
them in X. That is why you found no options to do that in the menu. If 
you want to format floppy disks. you will have to boot into OS 9 and do 
all your formatting there. You will also have to do all your copying 
from there unless Classic will let you do it from X. I wouldn't count 
on that happening because I am not convinced  X will "see" a floppy and 
be able to recognize it. If it does, Apple gets a "Mission Impossible" 
award for backward compatibility.
