Does anyone have a format.dat entry for an Hitachi DK515C disk drive. My
current entry looks like this:
disk_type = "Hitachi DK515C" \
:ctlr = MD21 : fmt_time = 4 : cache = 0x11 : trks_zone = 9\
: ncyl = 1356 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 1358 : nhead = 14 : nsect = 69 \
: rpm = 3600 : bpt = 35328 : bps = 512
From the Hitachi manual I'm not sure what cache,trks_zone, or fmt_time
should be set too. When I try and format the drive I always get the
following message:
Block 3 (0/0/3), Fatal non-media error (illegal request)
failed
Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
