I am trying to format a Maxtor XT-8760S (760MB) drive on a Sun 3/60 (version 3.5 SunOS), without success. My documentation specifies the following disk geometry: 1632 cylinders 15 data heads 54 sectors/track I have danced several numbers with diag (a typical example would be 1620 ncyl, 2 acyl, 15 head, 54 sectors, 1 interleave) but format always throws up on it. If I tell diag that the drive is a Micropolis 1558, it formats fine. (Of course, I lose a few hundred MB in the process.) If anybody has successfully formatted one of these drives, I would love to hear from you. Tom Olin PAR Technology Corp. (315) 738-0600 ...!uunet!adiron!tro
