Hi,
I have an old Epson Equity 286 portable with what I'm guessing is a 2Omeg or thereabouts hard disk.
I'm trying to format it and install DOS.
When I run format on it first displayed:-
Head: 0 Cylinder: 168
It has progressed very slowly (an hour) with the head going from 0-3 and then the cylinder increasing by 1 to Head: 0 Cylinder: 172
Is this normal, it seems to be doing something but taking forever.
