Herne Data Systems is pleased to announce the premiere of MAXI Disk version 4.1 for Windows 3.x and Windows 95 exclusively on CNET. MAXI Disk is a floppy disk formatting and copying utility that gives more space on the disks.

MAXI Disk version 4.1 for Windows, the easy way to format and copy disks with Windows, is packed with features including:

  • Format any standard DOS disk type,including MAXI style extended capacity disks;
  • Copy any type of DOS disk in one easy step, including MAXI style extended capacity disks;
  • Format and/or copy Microsoft 1.7 meg DMF disks;
  • Format and/or copy Macintosh 1.44 meg disks;
  • Copy virtually any type of non-DOS disk in a single pass;
  • Create floppy disk image files on your hard drive to make future additional copies;
  • Analyze an unknown disk and determine its type;
  • Improved speed for Win'95.
MAXI style extended capacity disks give you 420k on a 360k disk, 800k on a 720k disk, 1.4 meg on a 1.2 meg disk, 1.6 meg on a 1.44 meg disk, and 3.2 meg on a 2.88 meg disk, without any data compression, and in most cases without any special drivers. DMF disks are a special format used by Microsoft for software distribution. With MAXI, you can now make backups of your original DMF disks in one simple step.

MAXI Disk works with Windows 3.1 as well as Windows'95. MAXI Disk will only format floppy disks. It will not let you format a hard drive, even accidentally.
