I found a site with a couple of formatters that may work:

I want to perform a low-level format on my
Seagate ST-225 MFM hard
drive - it has the Xebec (IBM) 1210 controller card. I cannot for the
life of me remember the address to use in Debug. I know how to use Debug;
I've done 100's of LL formats - just not in the last dozen years or so.
Does Anybody remember?? Please email off-list. Thank you.... My HDD is
working, I just want to set it up right from scratch. (In case anybody's
wondering, I do a LL format on IDE drives before using them, too.) Bill

I'm fairly certain there is no formatter in ROM, it requires a program
loaded from floppy. I don't know if any generic program will work or if
you need a special formatter.
