I would like to avoid reformatting the entire drive. Has anyone modified bad144(8) to handle the RP07 with the -f option? Failing that, would there be any problem modifying the standalone format(8) program to format only a single track? -- David Trueman Microtel Pacific Research {ihnp4!alberta sun utcsri}!ubc-vision!mprvaxa!trueman
