Morning, I have a major problem. I have an Rainbow 100b with a 10MB disk. I have been given an rd53 and want to put it in my rainbow. Since I couldn't use the original cable (connects are resessed too far), I built a cable. I then cranked up WUTIL V3.2 (using MS-DOS V3.1) and tried to initialize/format the drive. I have over 20,000 bad sectors. There seem to be two sections of the disk that do not report bad sectors. I thought that I crossed some wires on the cable, so I tried the original 10MB disk with the cable I build without any problems. The rd53 was working fine when it was deinstalled from an VAX. What do I try now? Is there something wrong with WUTIL, or am I doing something dumb? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Preston, VAX System Manager mark@asngat.asn.net (internet) Alabama Supercomputer Center mark@uahvax1 (bitnet) Huntsville, AL 35806 mark@asnuab (bitnet) (205) 971-7430 7786::mark (SPAN)
