I'm way behind in this group, so this problem may have been resolved, but... Socrates (kpicott@alias.UUCP) writes: >When I try to format them I get the error "Format failed. Handler not >found.". ...

The name in the mountlist, >the name in the DEVS: directory, and the name stored internal to the >device handler itself. ... I had the same problem with the handler not being found. I checked the spelling \everywhere/ and it all agreed, but it still didn't work. While I was fiddling with it, I got a copy of WB1.3.2 and tried it. Suddenly, the handler was findable, and the format was successful. I still don't know why, but if you still haven't gotten it working, you might try that. Onward, -- J.
