I have upgraded my 2000 to 2.04 and want to take advantage of the new filesystem
The 2.04 docs say that HDToolBox can be used with a controller that supports the
RDB standard. I have a MAST fireball which uses the RDB standard.

Problem is HDToolbox does not recognise the fireball.device (it says something
like "device not installed"). I could not find any mention of how to use
set the device name for HDToolbox to use. But by snooping around the executable
found that it took command line parameters. But I still have not been able to 
get it to work sensibly.

The ezeprep software that came with my drive does not seem to have any options
for removing the filesystem from the RDB.

So, how do I do it?
