[comp.periphs.scsi] Formatting SCSI with Adaptec Controller

barefoot@hobbes.catt.ncsu.edu (Heath Roberts) (02/02/91)

I need to know (in general) how to format a SCSI disk with an Adaptec
1542 controller. I really don't even know how low-level formats work for
SCSI drives...... any helpful information?

Thanks

You can call adaptec's bbs at (408)945-7727 for some good info.
For raw formatting I use dos debug and type 'G=DC00:6'. This executes
a formatter in the 1542's rom bios.
