Space, the next frontier

Yes, the VS2000 format (and RCT table) is compatible with the RQDX3. You can do the formatting on the RQDX3 as well, with the right diagnostics. Of course, there are also machines with floppy drive systems that cannot do a low-level format. The most classic 8" floppy drive systems (specifically, the IBM 3740) can't format floppies, for example. There are also 5.25" floppy drive systems that can't format - for example, the RX50 on a DEC Q-bus or Unibus controller. (On some Rainbows, it is possible to low-level format RX50 media directly.) -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927
