Dwayne,
Well…yes and no. A low level format "prepares" the surface by
setting up sectors, and on a SCSI drive, by normally mapping out bad
sectors. After a low level format, the drive still isn't useable by
AmigaDOS…since none of the information that AmigaDOS requires is on the
disk at this point.
I'm not sure if a low level format command comes with the Supra or
not.
After that…a "high level" or AmigaDOS format (via the FORMAT
command) would be appropriate. The drive *should* be ok then.
