Help!
When trying to format a sound disk on the IIx yesterday the system
halted after a minute telling me:
format error status - 31 at psn $001a
**disk 1/0 error - status = 37 at 2298 on drive 1-psn 0024
**09 chain aborted by sytem error status word
Am I in big trouble here ?
I tried some tests...then I noticed that drive 01 would not write
anymore ..It reads o.k. also under page 2 but when trying to create a
new voice the system gives me a write error message.
tranfering files works o.k. but when I swapped drives I still wasn't
able to format a disk.
any help appriciated.
could this just be dirt?
David,
Is the disk write enabled? In other words, is there a notch and the front
of the disk and is it covered up with a sticky write protect / enable tab.
I recently nearly threw away some disks I thought were faulty when I got
the same message until I noticed that the disks that failed had the notch and
they weren't covered up. Sticky label applied and they all worked
perfectly...
Some disks did not have the notch, so they all worked perfectly..
