There is a PD format utility called WUTIL (WinchesterUTILity) this program
is written by Tony Camas and is well supported.

I used this utility to but an ST-251 (40 MB drive)

WUTIL can format most hard drives that can be connected to the rainbow, the
utility can also test the low level format and allows many partition
options.

If you decide on more than 4 partitions you will need a utility to replace
the DEC menu as it supports only 4 partitions I don't recall the one I used
but POLYPART rings a bell.


WUTIL is available on many of the Rainbow FIDO nets, I got mine from
theHhitchhikers Guide.
