Next Question:
I'm dealing with a Quantum Passport XL, 105 Meg removable
hard disk. SCSI Device. This disk has "lost" it's low level
format. I cannot call Quantum from work (900 number) and
don't care to spend the $5. myself to get a work related
problem solved.
I've tried calling Quantum's BBS (408) 894-3214,
(Advertiezed: 24 hours a day 7 days a week; meaning it's
busy that amount of time.) :-) And I'm not sure I can get
what I need there anyway. i.e., a low level formmating
routine for the beast in question.
I cannot get the chassis apart to find out what type of
mechanism is inside, they use something like a T4 or T6
screw to assemble the shell. No doubt though that the
drive itself is similar, if not identical to, a Quantum
LPS105.
Does anyone know of a (the) low level formatting routine for
this drive?
