A VAXStation 2000 probably can format it. Further information from mail (which was what I asked for): A VAXStation 2000 will format a Maxtor XT-2190 ('test 70' at the console [ROM] prompt), even if the VAX was bought diskless --- this has been tried. The hardest job is to get the case open. -- Lars Mathiesen, DIKU, U of Copenhagen, Denmark [uunet!]mcvax!diku!thorinn Institute of Datalogy -- we're scientists, not engineers. thorinn@diku.dk
