I have another formatting problem. This involves a new DEC RD53 disk on a micro vax II using the RQDX-3 controller. While using the DEC supplied diagnostics the formatting runs for approximately 12 minutes the stops with an error .. ie. Error occured while formatting device check drive for online or write protect. The device cables have been checked as well as the online/write protect switches everything appears to be fine. Both the drive and controller are fresh from DEC within the last month or so. Any ideas would be helpfull.
