I have a

be able to run diags on it if any exist.
If I'm not mistaken, this is a XT drive. Have
you tried entering DEBUG
and using G=C800:5 ?
But that's effective in performing a low-level
format, no? Of this I'm pretty sure. If it's an oldie
(apparently) then fine. But with *newer* drives, and I
don't know how new, you'll lose skew rates or whatever
if you perform a ll format. You won't damage the
drive, as is often said, but you'll lose some
efficiency I guess.
