I just took the case apart changed the jumpers to the way you specified and tried to low-level format the drive again but to no avail. I let it sit there for quite awhile and I couldn't even hear the drive working. I think it ran for about 30 mins but I never once heard the heads stepping across the drive. Yes, I put my ear down real close to the drive and listened and should have heard something stepping because it is not the quietest drive around when it is stepping. Help! Don't get me wrong the drive works without low-level formatting it, I would just like to format the drive to refresh the format. Could this drive be like an IDE drive and you don't low-level it. The drive came out of an old 386i Sun workstation/server.
