I never had disks on the 5110, so still learning about them on the 5120 - I assume they still need to be "MARK" just like the tapes are? You must lowlevel format them first. There's a utility (on the Utilities disk) called INITIAL to do this. You will have to choose the layout and density, i.e. format 1-9 and, if applicable, how many extra directory tracks (only on DD disks). Only then you will be able to mark them. OH, and I finally got to talk about the 5100 series.I'm not the best speaker and a couple mistakes I noticed - but mostly I hope I didn't horribly misrepresent your prior work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIJNrBaTenM +1 :-) Christian
