[ continuation ] cylinders from 2 to 698, only to fail at the very last. After additional rebooting, the 2090 DH0: can't even be referenced until RES0: is rePrep'ed. On a simular experiment, Mike sets up a MountList entry for a second partition on the Tulin drive, from cylinders 3 to 698 and rePrep's RES0:. But the Format statement still fails at the very end. As the chapter ends, Mike has many questions unanswered like: Why is there no 2090 command to PreFormat or LowFormat the main partion, like I need to do with every HardDisk on every machine I've ever used? Should I still call the device RES0: in the MountList if I'm trying to use Unit = 11? Join us next week as Mike gets desperate and starts using multicolored cables to "…make the 2090 *feel* better".
