I recenty got an ST-225, with the hopes of installing it in my
Pro-350, but ran into a wall today, trying to install it. Hopefully,
someone else has done this already, and I dont need to reinvent the
wheel!

I took the drive, and formatted it on a Rainbow, for the simple reason
that there doesnt seem to be any kind of formatting program for the
Pro (Venix and RT-11)

After it formatted just fine (think it only had one hard sector error),
I tried to INIT it under RT-11XM. Now my problem starts. I set the drive
select jumper (at least, thats what I think it is) for 0. Now how do I 
actually INITialze it? There is DWX.SYS and DUX.SYS on my system disk,
but I cant INSTALL DU, RT-11 complains that its an illegal device.
Never initially installed? I did some nasty work with SET DU CSR and such
and was finally able to INSTALL it, but when I LOAD it, blam, bye-bye
machine...

INIT DW0: gives an error reading input or something similiar...

Just -how- do I go about this?   

Many thanx
