When setting parameters for disk drive formating using 'fx', it defaults to a data rate of (3). How does this translate into megabits per second ?

It has no relationship with drive or controller transfer rate today. markb -- Mark Bradley "Faster, faster, until the thrill of IO Subsystems speed overcomes the fear of death."

Has anyone successfully integrated a MAXTOR XT-4830 disk drive with a INTERPHASE 3102 ESDI controller on a 4D70GT running 3.1G. FX seems to format the drive okay, but then complains about not being able to write the label. Then it can't find the sectors it formated ... ?
