- I use SparcStation 1+ with Pinnacle Micro's REO-650 magnetoptical hard disk.
- (Media is sony SMO-D501)
- When I tried to format a brand-new disk with the format program supplied by
- Pinnacle, I got the following messages;
-
- > Ready to format. Formatting cannot be interrupted
- > and takes 19 minutes (estimated). Continue? yes
- > Beginning format. The current time is Wed Jan 20 14:01:52 1993
