Who said anything about a low level format? I just want to load Prodos on
it, and use it on my IIe. I already have several SCSI cards/HDs, a Sider
drive, a Vulcan, etc.. Now I want to get this one working. I am a hardcore
collector, and I don't want to throw this drive away, or pawn it off on
ebay. ???

Gee, thanks for the help though.

Besides, I bought it off of ebay already, and I don't want to sell it.
Thanks for the help though.???
