How do I format a TransDisk-SCSI?
TransDisk-SCSI (or any SCSI devices, thereafter refered only by TransDisk-SCSI) is shipped with default format for PC, WindowsNT, or OS/2, i.e., FAT format. If a user wants to use it on MAC (Apple), UNIX, or Workstations (SUN, DEC, HP,…etc.), TransDisk needs to be reformatted on that particular machine. Refer to your system manual or users guide for instruction. On a PC, Most SCSI hard drives are already low-level formatted when you receive them. If it is not, you need to use the utility software that comes with the SCSI controller card to do the low level format first. Then, you need to partition it. Some SCSI controllers allow you to use the “FDISK.EXE” under MS-DOS. The other controllers provide software utility to do that. After partitioning, you just need to run “FORMAT.COM” to high-level format the hard drive. On a non-PC system, follow your system manual or users guide for instruction.
