>I have some problems when trying to format a Micropolis 1375
It's the same as the 1355, which is in format.dat, but with a SCSI interface.
><Micropolis 1375 cyl 1022 alt 2 hd 8 sec 35>
disk_type = "Micropolis 1355" \
: ctlr = MD21 \
: ncyl = 1018 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 1024 : nhead = 8 : nsect = 34 \
: rpm = 3600 : bpt = 20832
>When I format it I get the following:
Why are you formatting it? I had a bunch of these go through my hands, and
never found one that wasn't formatted.
I used to work for a vendor who only stopped shipping them when Micropolis
discontinued them. They're slow and don't hold much, but toward the end I
was getting drives with *0* media defects on the factory's list.
