Or - maybe you didn't :-(. The MVII diagnostics are worse than useless.

Then you didn't format the RD54 successfully. The best you can hope
for with the MVII diagnostics is to turn an already formatted RD54
into a formatted RD54. The worst that can happen is that you
lose an already existing format.
Let me know what media it'd be useful to you on, and I'll get you a
bootable XXDP disk/pack/cart/tape with ZRQC?? on it.

Yep - you need to really reformat the disk, as opposed to what the MVII
diagnosics do. And congratulations on actually posting the command
you used and the error message that resulted!! If only everyone else
on the list could do the same, it'd be a much nicer world!!
