low level scsi format

The best thing you can do is a basic Mac ie LC, LCII LCIII or like and hacked 7.3.5 HD SC, homemade Mac to pc VGA monitor adapter cable. Dead easy to do that patch and fits on a disk and excellent way to do that tests due to long tests/formatting process. Once you get all scsi HD checked out, simply transfer them to dos machines and reformat them. The utils and like even w/ built in those winblows for peecees are *lousy* I tell you. This is why I know because I just saved MO cart with one side bad into good whole cart w/ APS powertools on Mac. That 1GB MO cart for certain drive cost about 130CDN EACH! Ouch!! Once again, I tell you all, I searched high and low on 'net for peecee utils for the formatting/repairing scsi based drives especially for MO or removeable stuff doesn't exist as far as I can tell besides original ones that came with external drives that original owners lost them. If Adaptec did have one, it is $$$ and might not work with older or might be poorly done. Cheers, Wizard
