I don't know anything about that particular board.  If it has its own
BIOS ROM, chances are good that you can get into the formatting
program similarly to how other boards work.  For complete safety,
don't try this with a disk drive that has contents that must be
retained.

Go into debug and execute c800:005.  If that doesn't work,
execute c800:ccc.  If that doesn't work, try c800:006.  If
you still have no success, dis-assemble the code at c800:000
and onward and look for a handy entry point.  If there's
nothing there at all, it's a dumb controller and you may need
additional software.
