- We've got a micropolis 1030 1.3 (unformatted) drive on a NeXTStation
- Color Turbo running NeXTStep release 2.2.
-
- I'd like to low-level format it optimally and would greatly appreciate
- any advice as to:
- - how to do this
- - what man pages to read
- - what progs to use (some one has said something about 'SCSIFormatter')
- - if any 'proto' file exists for this purpose
-
- It will be used as our main file server disk in a heterogenous network of
- SUNs and NeXTs, if it makes any difference (although I think that this
- aspect of it doesn't pertain to the low-level formatting (?)).
-
-
- Thanks for any help, cheers - Kevin
