I have just aquired a VAX-11/730, with an RB80 121 Mb disk, which is exhibiting numerous parity errors. I have been told that RB80s which sit for years, unused, do occasionally develop parity errors, which disappear upon reformatting. I have the pocket service guide and the user guide, but nothing more for the disk itself. What can I do to format the drive. Standalone backup with the /INIT qualifier does not work. Thanks in advance, -ethan
