- I am trying to do something similar, and also request help (Jeff and I
- have talked, and between the two of us we are still at a bit of a loss).
- I am trying to connect a Kennedy 5300 drive to an 11/34a using a Dilog DU202
- board, and am also having little luck formatting it. The manual for the
- DU202 also seems to indicate that storing 4003 into 776714 initiates some
- sort of onboard formatter, but also that some table of header information
- is expected from memory. Apparently Dilog supplied software to do this
- when you bought the board new, but that is long gone. Has anyone ever
- done this?
