Excellent.
I've tried to boot something from DIA0 DIA1 and
DIA2..nosurchfile so the
disks seems to be empty.
Oh Well...
Now I think about a reformat of the drives, but there
is no such procedure.
There is an erase program that should rewrite eachs sector with several
patterns. I'll think that it will do the job.
Does an format programm exists "in the field" or is something like thisi
proprietary to DEC?
Why would you want to reformat the drives?
That said, I would expect such a utility to exist in the firmware of the
drive.
But normally, since these drives remap bad sectors automatically, you
should normally just go on using them, and everything is ok.
