Actually, You can do a low-level format of a ProFile (tm) with an Apple ///, and
a program supplied to dealers for just such a purpose.

Of course, If you happen to have a Lisa (tm) around the house, you could use it,
also...

You will probably find that a low-level format is unneccessary, however...

Good Luck.
