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?
