    yes, lowlevelformat is not supported in SCSIConfig.. or you have to press some special key-combination while pressing the last "OK, I want to lowlevel-format that damn thing"-Button. :-)

    Ok........Yes..........I'm waiting for that special key combination tokai :-D

    Did you try running Quarterback Tools?
    I didn't try it yet.
    Perhaps if I quickformat the drive with FFS as filesystem that QBT would work on it? (assuming QBT works on MOS)

    Important!

    I've tried Quarterback Tools and it looks like it works, but actually it doesn't! It crashes the harddrive and you have to format the drive again.
