Re: SDX Harddisk operation

2005-08-23 by flybot2000

Ah, yes, THAT was the trick! 

The trouble with the SDX documentation was this: to save something,
you use the FORMAT command, readily understood at Simmons to mean
SAVING.

In America, the last thing you want to do is FORMAT a drive, because
that wipes out everything. I actually had a phone discussion with a
British engineer about this years ago.

So, with the SDX, don't fear the FORMAT command.
