I would like to find a method of doing a low-level format on original
IBM PC-XT 10 Meg hard disks without having to get the Advanced
Diagnostics.  Unfortunately, Norton 5.0's Calibrat program doesn't
deal with this type of disk.

Please e-m, but I will be checking for posts.

MIT and the Library Systems Office are glad that I'm posting my opinions
here so that they don't have to listen to them anymore.
