No idea what KNIFEST is, but any Atari works just fine with non
standard disks. Usually no problem with 82 sectors/10 tracks. Lots of
PD formatters out there that format often up to 86/15 and more (it just
depends on the capabilities of the controller chip (WD1772) and the
drive mechanism.
Did I misunderstand your question?

| Yes you mis-understood my question.
This is a commercial program available in the UK. It allows you to look
at and modify sectors on a floppy disk. So if you know what you are
doing, then you can repair corrupted disks.
I have a feeling that I read somewhere that it would only handle 80
track/9 sector disks but I could be dreaming.

| The answer is definitely YES - Knife ST is an excellent disk editor and
can handle just about anything. I used it extensively to trouble shoot
my hard disk FAT corruption problem (see notes elsewhere in here!).
