Noob question; how does one do a low-level format on it? I assume formatting from DOS on the 150 expects the disk to have already been low-level formatted?

If you can connect it to a machine running MS-DOS, you can run debug and enter

G=C800:5

The low-level format program is built-in.

But will that format it correctly for this system? Seems the bytes per sector is different?
