I have a couple of Quantum Q280's I want to put on my SparcStation 1+.  I
tried to fram up a format.dat but when I type to format the drive, I get
an SCSI Fatal Error, Ilegal Command from the format command.  I'll bet the
problem is my format.dat.  If you have a Quantum Q280 running on you
system, please send me a copy of your format.dat.  Also, if you had this
problem and there is some strange jumpers on the drive I need to set/reset
to get it to format, I would appreciate it if you'd email me with your
experiences.
