(sorry if this repeats, the original posting never came back to me)

A colleague who has an RA60 drive just told me
that they have had hardware failures on 3 occasions that
renders the removable pack useless, as it destroys the
formatting somehow. DEC has told them there is nothing that
can be done to reformat it. Can this be true? Isn't there a
field service diagnostic that can do the job?
