 I'm going to make a guess that you're talking
about DEC RX33 (5.25"
half-height drives) or DEC RX50 drives (two 5.25" drives in a full-height
5.25" form factor) hooked to a RQDX3 controller.  If you can specify
that you're talking about one or the other, you'll get more specific
answers :-)

 A RQDX3 is incapable of formatting RX50 floppies, but
it is capable

	Excuse me, but this does not make sense to me. I have an RX50 and RQDX3 in
my MicroVAX II, and it is perfectly happy formatting RX50 floppies. How do
you think I got that wonderful tape copying program onto the hard drive? ;-)

	For my part, Tim, I'd be very disappointed if you unsubscribed from the
list. I value your insights very much.
