It's kind of odd hearing a 5.25 disk being formatted after all these years. :) Of the disks I have with the system, I seem to be missing the tools to format a hard drive for the machine. They're "H" tools - HINIT, HFORMAT, etc. If anyone here has them, I'd really appriciate getting copies! FYI, my BIOS revision is 3.8 - 3.0 is the min rev listed in the manual. Thanks! G.
