This is usually caused by old-rev RQDX3 microcode. Have a look at the error log for the rev level; I seem to recall this problem with rev 3 (the drive would work fine, just couldn't format - the infinite format time is exactly what happened to me..) My controllers are rev 5 code, as I recall. -Rick -- Rick Murphy, WA1SPT/4 Digital Customer Center, Landover, MD Domain: murphy@ufp.dco.dec.com -or- murphy@ufp.enet.dec.com Bang: decwrl!ufp.enet!murphy Ding: (301) 306-2985 Disclaimer: This nonsense came from an AI program written in TECO.
