If not, low level format on an IBM system using Disk Manager by OnTrack or a similar program, this will allow you to reformat the first 2 cyclinders and remove the information, the format programs for the 2090 or 2090A are not capable of doing a lowlevel format using mfm drives...SCSIs are a different story....Mike Miller -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AFIT Amiga Users BBS/UFGateway |Mike Miller - via FidoNet node 1:110/300 1:110/300 Dayton, Ohio |UUCP: uunet!dayvb!afitamy!210!Mike.Miller (513)-252-7681 |ARPA: Mike.Miller@f210.n110.z1.FIDONET.ORG ------------------------------------------------------------------------
