I assume you have a 3.0 UNIX diagnostics disk.
When you reformat the disk if it has no readable
format info on it, the program will ask for what
type of drive it is. There are about 9 choices
and the last one is other. Chose Other. Then
it will ask you about tracks, heads, and sectors.
answer 981, 5, and 17 respectively. It worked for
me with my Tandon 755. This formats you out to
about 41Meg of usable space.
