Well, what I meant was, it formats *all* the cylinders and fails right at
the point where it would be saying "Initializing disk.". Also, I tried
dividing the disk into 100 cylinder partitions and successfully formatted
each partition, but they didn't last through a reboot. Every single one of
them was listed as "Not a DOS disk".
I'm still trying to find out how to LowLevel format the disk with the
2090. I'm also trying to find out what the J4 connector is for on the 2090
board. It's right next to the J5 connector that you can use to hook up an
LED with. I'm having this terrific urge to jumper it to make the board know
that it's the second controller.
