I've got an Interphase 4200 SMD controller stuck into a 3/180, and am trying to format an Eagle with little success. I've tried a variety of paramters and jumper settings, but always end up with write: I/O error error 29: sector not found write: I/O error error 29: sector not found write: I/O error error 29: sector not found When doing a "mapformat" in ipdiag. Once I got it so that it only gave the error once, and was able to do a "format" of the whole drive without errors, but "flawmap" didn't seem to comprehend the spare sectors, and tried to map every track with an error, which it couldn't do with much sucess. Any ideas? I really want to stop relying on xy450's.
