Hi everyone!
I have an old Olivetti M24 (a clone of AT&T 6300). It has a 10meg MFM hard drive (Tandon I suppose), and running Norton Disk Doctor it showed some bad sectors.
I thought it was time to do a low level format, but I don't have any idea on how to get into the HD controller's bios (after googling around i figured out that my controller is a DTC 5150 BX) and run the utility to do the LLF (the debug method working with some WD controllers didn't work for me...). I tried also with a simple format from DOS, but it didn't solve the problem.
Anyone with some ideas?
Thanks in advance!
