Last night during a format operation on a Maxtor 8760S, power cycled.
Before the format, the drive was fine.  After the partial format, I get
write protect messages on a new format attempt.  The drive was being
successfully used and then reformatted on an Apple IIGS with a Apple DMA High-
Speed SCSI board.  The utilities I have in this environment are next to none.
Are the Sun Sparc utilities more robust.  Will I have to contact the
manufacturer to replace the drive geometry, defect list, or some other
corrupt data?  I do not read this group, so please Email.
Thanx in advance...
