#Quantum lowlevel format?
HOW can I lowlevel format a Quantum Lightning 730S hard disk on my Amiga with
an Evolution (by MacroSystem) host adaptor??? I tried using the EvoInstall
tool, the format utility that comes with it, SCSIed and SCSIutil which I dl'd
here. All of the named programs 'hang' as soon as they try to access the drive.
At work we have (amongst others) a PC with an Adaptec 1542 SCSI host adaptor
which (rather: Adaptec's format utility) performs a lowlevel format of this
disk (I took it there on friday) without a problem in just over 4 minutes. So
the information I originally got here that Quantum hard disks can't be lowlevel
formatted clearly is wrong! But how can I do it on the Amiga?
Thanks!
