- Hi there! I just installed one of these babies as my internal drive
- (SCSI ID 1) and would like to format it to 1024 bytes/block. I
- attempted to Rory Bolt's formatter but apparently it doesn't work too
- well if you use it to format your boot disk (I don't have an external
- case).
-
- What I'd like to do is use the 'format', 'sense' and 'select'
- tools that come as part of the "scsitools" package found on the archives
- to format my drive (I can boot from CD-ROM, you see, and can run these
- from floppy). So now I need some kind soul to e-mail me the output
- of the 'sense' command, as in
-
- sense -t 1 -l 0 -p 63 >fujitsu-1024.sense
-
- Said kind soul should, of course, already have an appropriately formatted
- 2624FA in his/her machine.
-
- BTW, I sucked the "scsitools" package off of sonata.cc.purdue.edu.
-
- Thanks!
