- Do you want what's on it? If not, you can reformat it. I had to
- reformat a 317 megger that had been in use on a Mac. I have an
- Adaptec 1542B. I'm assuming that this probably should work for you
- as well. Make sure you know what address your ROM is at, run DEBUG,
- and type in
-
- G=XXXX:6
-
- Where XXXX is the segment address of the ROM, and press enter. You
- will then get a menu that lists the current drives, and allows you to
- format them. It's only taken me 4 years to find this (how to format)
- out. :)
-
- Note that the 6 is non-standard, most controllers use 5 as the
- address to jump to.
