I've had the same issue, my experience has been that unless the drive
is already formatted for a DEC, the RQDX3 won't be able to reformat
it successfully (even for drives with the exact same geometry as a
DEC standard drive). At least I never had any luck doing so, but
maybe newer ROMs will solve the problem.
FWIW, I've pulled ST225's (aka RD31's) out of bog-standard PC's, and
formatted them on an RQDX3 in an MicroPDP11, using ZQRCH0 from XXDP...
