MAE 2.0: Unable to Format Unformatted Floppies on HP (9/95)

I am not able to format floppies that have never been formatted from within MAE (Macintosh Application Environment) on my HP (Hewlett Packard) workstation. If a floppy has been previously formatted by either DOS, UNIX, or Mac OS, I am then able to format it in MAE.
To correct the problem, first run 'mediainit' from an hpterm. Once it has been formatted as a UNIX disk, MAE will then be able to format the floppy.

(example: mediainit /dev/rfloppy/c201d0s0)

This issue is being investigated by engineering, however, we do not know when or if this issue will be addressed.
