I just recently purchased a Kronos 2000 Drive controller and I am not able to low level format the drive. The program that I am using was supplied with the controller (fedX). The program starts up and asks you wheather or not you want to continue with the format, when I enter YES the program aborts and gives me a device error. I know there is nothing wrong with the drive because it can be formatted using Amiga dos 1.3 and this controller.. If anyone has any suggestions please leave me a message Bruno Pronio......CRS....TORONTO......CANADA --- * Via ProDoor 3.2aR

SCSI controller -- write this down! There is an omission in the "SCSI Host/Controller Instruction Manual" that comes with SCSIDOS 3.0. It can cause the above error. On page 45, "Step by Step Low-Level Formatting of a Hard Drive", there should be an ADDITIONAL STEP between steps (2) and (3). (Step (2) says "Copy your current Mountlist...", and step (3) says "Now start the FEdX program...."). Step (2.5): Run the DevInstall program by typing: DevInstall @devs:devsetup Now proceed with the rest of the instructions. This should eliminate the errors you are seeing.
