On most controllers, you can use their format routine by doing: DEBUG g=C800:5 and proceed from their, following directions on screen or docs. Some controllers use addresses like C800:CCC (Adaptec) or C800:7. The Advanced Diagnostics bypass this procedure. On an XT the lowest you can (supposedly) go is 3, although I haven't really played with it much. (Anyone out there have?) /=^=\ Thomas M.
