Hello everybody ! I am about Hard Disk format problems. Last week I`ve got a Hard Disk from my friend for 1000$. I did`t know which type and capacity. Now I am using this hard disk with pleasure, and I know that this is the CDC 94171-9 HD Capacity 286 MB, Device Block 512 bytes There are all my steps to format this hard disk: 1. Install HD into NeXT with SCSI number 0 (All jumpers off) 2. Log in in root. 3. In shell type: "sdform /dev/rsd0a". 4. After low level forma type: "disk -h myhost -l mydisk -i /dev/rsd0a" 5. After this your hard ready to Build Disk utility. That all what I know about this problem ... Sergei P.S. Sorry about my English.
