I FINALLY got it!! I got a functional Focus drive format running!
Remember I had dropped my drive and shatteered a head or platter but the card
was OK.
Well Locally I found a 200 meg 2.5 drive..only afterwards to find on the
Alltech page that it was incompatable! Well I have already formated it so,,,
I found that to format the focus drive you can NOT do it in ProDOS,, it MUST
be done in GS/OS. Well, my GS I just got was sans power supply, so I wired a
new one. It is ROM 1 w/o memory, GS/OS won't load. Well, today some memory
cards I had ordered from Louis (Thank you Louis!!) came in, so I populated
them and fired up the GS and... (oh, by the way, I gor ZLINK to work and
unShrinkit and got the format stuff over to a good Apple floppy)
It has been an educational day...
