ask the wizard

VAX Diagnostics, Disk Formatters?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I am trying to find out how to format a RA-60 Disk with a
MicroVAX II. We had a disk crash and ordered a couple of refurbished disks. The
 new disks are not formatted. We tried to use the Diag Tape (TK-50) MDM, but it
 will not let us into the formatter menu. It gives a message that we need to
 purchase a
MicroVAX II Maintenance Kit. I would appreciate any help.
 
Thanks,
Rocky

The Answer is :

 
  The MDM maintenance kit contains the formatter.  For self-maintenance
  services, tools, spares, and diagnostics, please check with the Compaq
  Assisted Services organization; referenced in the OpenVMS FAQ.
