I discovered the complete error text for this cryptic message.
It goes something like this:

PV_SCS_FMT_ERR#2:

"Take your disk drive and hook it up to your trusty Macintosh
and work it over with Hard Disk Toolkit until it works OK on
the Mac. Then connect it back up to the VS3100 and it will
format successfully."
