SUMMARY
The Western Digital 8-bit hard disk controller card ROM contains a
low-level formatting utility. This utility can be started using the
Microsoft MS-DOS DEBUG utility. Western Digital 16-bit controller
cards need a disk-based formatter to do the low-level formatting.
For more information, contact Western Digital technical support and
