I have several Western Digital Hard Drives (1007VSE1 type). I would like to know the DEBUG command used to start the BIOS on these drives. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- / Fred Darnell Charlotte, NC \ Currently looking for anyone interested | (fdarnell@cybernetics.com) | in joining or forming a robotics club \ -or- 73123,3236 (on C.Serve) / in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.

There is no way to know what the debug address is for a hard disk. The address is dependent on the controller card. The old 8-bit cards used c800:5, I think. So in debug, you would do G=C800:5 and you would get a message and menu. Best of success. -- Geek Code: GAT d-- p-@ c++(++++) l? u? e+/* m++(*) s !n h+/(*) f g+ w+ t++ t- y-(*)

Any help : is greatly appreciated. On my ST-506 RLL (adaptec) ctrl. the folowing command works fine for low-level formatting. "G C800:5" A menu comes up and then you choose whatever you want....

I have also seen G=C800:6 used. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ken Jobling Email: K.Jobling@dce.vic.gov.au Victorian Fisheries Research Institute, Box 114, Queenscliff, Phone: +61 (52) 520 340 Victoria 3225, Australia Fax: +61 (52) 520 270

That's not the drive. That's the controller. I've got a .com program that does low-level formats without bios floating around somewhere, or else, there's probBbly one somewhere on the net. Good Luck. P.S. You might try looking at the U (unnassembly) info under debug for C800:5 or CA00, CD00, D000, and execute anything that looks like a program. I've seen a card with D000 rather than C800 once.
