Check the 'format enable' jumper on the 217 controller.  There are a
pair of pins on the upper left corner of the board.  Remove the jumper
from the interupt pins 3 and 4 on the lower left corner of the board
and place it on the pair in the upper left corner.  Run PREP and PART.
Be sure to put it BACK on pins 3 and 4 before using the 100 for 
normal operations.   

This info is in the Winchester supplement, appendix B, if you have one.
