Re: RamFast versions - software and hardware??Jazz drive...

["Stephen Hartz" <SHartz@columbus.rr.com>]

Anubis utility on my Mac failed to help.  Recognized the drive but not the
inserted cartridge.  I thing the Ramfast low level format did somethiong BAD
to the media itself.  I'm hoping that if Willi can re-format it (low level)
on his IIE and High Speed SCSI,  the expensive cartridges may be salvaged...
The other alternative, maybe, is to take a readable (GOOD) Jazz cartridge,
partition it on a Mac with Anubis or Hard Drive Toolkit, and then see if
the Apple II will recognize it.  That might???   work?
