This disk runs off an Adaptec 1535 (the 1540 w/o a bios). I have had little luck with adaptec's "scsifmt" (booted to 95 command prompt, ran dos version). Here's the error message I see: --- Unexpected SCSI Command Failure Target SCSI id: 0 SCSI CDB Sent: 04 00 00 00 00 00 Host Adapter Status: 00 - No host adapter error (??? I can use my SCSI cdrom in DOS!) Target Status: 02- Check condition Sense Key: 04- Hardware error +Sense Code: 03 +Sense Code Qualifier: 00 --- Now, here's what I see from FreeBSD 2.1.5's "scsiformat -w sd0": Three seconds until format begins...Formatting...this may take a while SCIOCCOMMAND ioctl: Command accepted return status 3 (Sense returned) host-adapter status 2 Command out (6 of 6) 04 00 00 00 00 00 Error code is "current errors" Segment number is 00 Sense key is "Hardware error" The information field is not valid but contains 00000000 (0).

Any help interpreting this/salvaging the drive would be GREATLY appreciated. TIA, John Szumowski harpo@javanet.com
