Any help would be greatly appreciated. The 4.3 BSD stand-alone formatting utilities should be able to format the controller drive combination you mention. For that matter, there is no need to "reformat" the drives at all - the low level format is the same, and even the filesystems need only be fsck'ed (as long as it's not 4.3 tahoe). -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
