[comp.sys.dec] Formatting an RD54

tarsa@abyss.zk3.dec.com (Greg Tarsa) (07/27/90)

I have an empty RD54 equivilant that I want to put on a
MicroVAX II that that I purchased at an auction.

How does one do this?  On Suns, the software is part of the system.
I cannot find anything in VMS that seems to support this function.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

	Assuming the system came with a TK50 there *should* be
	a customer diagnostic tape.  It has the formatter on
	it.  If it didn't come with TK50 then it probably has
	an RX50 and there might be a set of customer diagnostic
	floppies.
