Does anyone happen to know what the magic format addresses are for a WD1003-WA2 F002 X8D Controller or where I could find out about the address ? I tried g=c800:5 to no avail. I have no manual for the card. Do I have to buy Spinrite to format my Rodime 3055 drive ?

The number is 714-753-1234. I believe the file name is WDFMT.EXE or something close to that. -- |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |Glen Midkiff osu-cis!dsac!gmidkiff | |From the Internet: gmidkiff@dsac.dla.mil | |Phone: (614)-238-9643 @DLA, Systems Automation Center, Columbus, Oh. |

With these You can change the interleave without any data loss and much more... Disk Manager by On Track also can perform low level formatting. ________________________________________________________________________ | Kai Voelcker, Kappelner Str 18, D-2300 Kiel 1, voice: +49 431 335605 | | kai@kaiki.toppoint.de interests: 386asm, c, pascal; OR algorithms | | > PLEASE NOTICE: I must PAY for incoming mail!
