Gayle, Well, right off I can tell what you did won't work because you would have configured the drive for nearly 3 times its capacity! With 936 cylinders and 16 heads, you can't have more than about 16 or 17 sectors per track. If you check the manual you should use 936 cylinders, 16 heads, and 17 secotrs per track. That results in a format of about 103.3 meg. If you used 42 spt you did it wrong. Look at the table on the bottom right of the inside charts of the manual. The default config for the 7120A is listed there. Use that configuration and ONLY that or the drive won't work, as jumpered unless you changed jumper J13, which should be jumpered unless you removed the jumper or it fell off. If you don't use that configuration, the drive will not work, guaranteed. Steve
