Duodisk Problem/Cure: Won‘t Format-Says "Volume Not On Line"
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When trying to format a brand
new disk, i.e. one that has never been formatted , the system returns a
"Volume Not On Line" error prompt. Other error prompts may occur depending on
the application you are using to format the disk.
CAUSE: The revision of the Format Utility that is being used may be
incompatable with the Analog PCB in the DuoDisk.
CURE: Use revision 2.1 or newer of the System Utilities. If the
format attempt fails again, swap the analog PCB and retry.
If the above cure doesn't fix the problem, search on GTS and the
product's name to obtain a general troubleshooting procedure.
