S-l-o-w FORMAT on 100LX RAM cards? 100/200LX

Those who have traded in their 95LX for a 100LX may have noticed that formatting a RAM card on the 100LX seems to take forever while the 95LX was almost instantaneous. This is because formatting on the 95LX does not check each sector of the card. The 100LX formatting program does check each sector so that the time it takes to format is a function of the size of the RAM card.
