Is it possible to perform a low level formatting of a DEC
RL01K data cartridge on an LSI-11/23 with an RL01 drive and
an RLV11 controller (or another PDP-11 in a similar configuration)?

If so, does anyone have a UNIX executable or source code which
will format the RL01K?  UNIX 'C' source or PDP assembly would be best but
any other source would also be of help.  The disk packs in question
had been previously bulk erased so a low level formatting is required.

Please reply back directly by EMAIL since I don't have direct
access to netnews (a friend posted this for me).  Any information
would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
