In the past I successfully low-level formatted PC-formatted ST225
using XXDP2.5 directly on PDP11/53 with RQDX3.
If I remember correctly, I used ZRQCH.
As I had a machine with RX33 (5"1/4), I prepared a booting image of
XXDP on SIMH, transferred the image to floppy disk with vtserver,
then executed the diagnostic program, inserted the right parameters, and voil?.
It worked like a charm on all the ST225 I have, also on one that have
a lot of defective sectors.
