w20-575-107 (18.187.0.128) - "cformat" does not display a 20 meg
floptical format option. This could indicate something wrong with the
floptical drive, or it could indicate that a conventional floppy drive
(3.5in, DS-HD) is installed in this workstation instead of a floptical
drive. Such a thing is possible if the drive has a SCSI adapter, and
the drive will work satisfactorily with DS-HD media in MAC and PC
format, not indicating any problem until a floptical disk is
inserted.
*********#107 is getting write protect err's with everything I try**
** #107 still getting write protect err's **
I used same floptical diskette that worked on Mike Barkers SGI.
I have blown out the drive and the system does not recognize anything
in the drive, possible bad diskette drive.
Scott, please look into.
Thanks
JJ
