  What type of controller do you have?  If it is an Adaptec, then you do
  the low level format similar to the WD.  With debug, g=c800 .....

  If it is another type of controller, there is a low level format on the
  XT diagnostics floppy, and there are programs posted on several BBS
  that will perform the low level format.
