Thanks to tremendous help from several folks I've isolated my formatting
problem.
Turns out to be a hardware issue with the DY1: drive. I've tried
cleaning heads etc. The read/write boards are fine ( I swapped them
with my Decmate I to check).
So now I need a single drive for an RX02. Any idea's of a source?
Many thanks!

Yes and no. The Drives are same as RX01 and also same as those used
in the PDT-11/150..
Before I'd run out and kill a RX. I'd try cleaning and relubing the
leadscrew and making sure the head load pad is still there.
I had one that once both were taken care of it was perfect.
