I've got a Fujitsu M2263E 700 meg ESDI drive i'm trying to get to
work with a DTC 6280-15 ESDI controller.  I just can't get the
damed thing to low-level format.  It thinks all the sectors are
bad and this disk is brand new.  I've also tried a DPT PM3011E
Caching controller.  the DPTFMT utility just doesn't want to format
this disk.

Is there something special about this disk I need to know?  

Has anyone out there got one of these drives working?  If so which
controller are you using?

Thanks in advance

Aris

P.S.  Please post *AND* replly via e-mail as my usenet connection  is
      quite unstable.
