INITIALIZE MEDIA

Same as the format option described above, except that it doesn't format the media before writing the

logical drive information.

If the diskette's formatting is OK, use this option instead of format. This will save you

time.

If you initialize a diskette using a density that differs from its formatted density, the

diskette will be unusable.

MODE SENSE

Retrieves mode sense information from the drive. You can view these values:

• Current Values: control the current operation of the drive.

• Changeable Values: indicate which bytes/bits are changeable.

• Saved Values: control the current operation of the drive, unless they are changed by a

Mode Selected command.

• Default Values: used by the drive if current values have not been set or the drive is

unable to access its saved values.

The information you requested is displayed within a scrollable window. Use

information. Press

ESC
