Thanks,

I have a few other SMD drives (just picked
'em up today, in fact) but
they're newer (~825mb) and the Ridge disc utilities only support a small
subset of drives (they do not support providing custom geometries,
because
that would be *too easy*.)
Can you "under format" an SMD drive? i.e. if you have a drive with
equal or greater cylinders and heads will it automagically work at a
lower capacity that's supported by your formatter?
