Just an update on this problem i was having. I obtained another WD MFM
card with LL format program, formated the original Rodime and all is
working. It seems the problem was with the Compaq controler.
Thanks for your help guys

Hi guys
does anyone know the correct incantation to low level format an MFM
drive, a rodime 351, driven by a Compaq controller board.
I,ve tried with debug G=C800:5 to no avail. there is no format
program there!.
The driver board has no real description on it, just
Compaq computer corp 1983 and assy 61-031074-00
Any ideas???
thanks
