 MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL NOTES  | 
| 
 This controller has a built-in low-level format program. To enter the program run the DEBUG utility supplied with DOS and at the prompt enter: G=C800:5. If the error BAD DRIVE!(4) comes up during low-level the controller will stop the format and exit. This is a bug in the controller that causes it to halt on bad sectors that are not flagged in the bad track table. In no way does this mean you have a bad drive! Simply write down the head and cylinder at the point the controller stopped, start the low-level over again and add this to the bad track table. (You must watch closely to catch the head and cylinder; the screen is cleared right after the error is hit.) If it still returns a BAD DRIVE!(4) message on the same head and cylinder, then enter the head and cylinder into the bad track table twice. Once with the actual BFI and once with a BFI 2000 numbers apart from the first. The ST11R is one of the only 8-bit controllers that support 31 sectors per track. The Seagate ST225R hard drive uses 31 sectors per track and thus must use this controller not a regular 26 sectors per track RLL controller.  |
