why my megascsi doesn't format?

Well... I'm going to explain what happens to me. I have the MEGASCSI and two ZIP drives. Some months ago, they both formatted with sform-2.com without any problem... it last 15 minutes or so to complete the formatting...
But now, the ZIPdrives don't format!!! they can be hours and hours "formatting" and it doesn't stop. Nothing has changed since that months were all worked out perfectly. So, what is the problem? maybe the ZIPdisks are broken? or the ZIPdrives at the same time??? :S
thank you!!!!!

Try disconnecting one of the ZIP drives to see if it's an ID issue... You could also try formatting the ZIP disk on your PC to see if perhaps it's the medium that's no longer any good. Does your HD, assuming you have one, still work with your SCSI interface?

I tested it with the ZIP drives separately... I will buy another zipdisk and see what happens... thank you very much

It's a bit strange... I have a MegaSCSI too and S-FORM2 takes a few seconds to format the ZIP 100 disks....

Totally sure.

I always felt a bit curious with that, because SFORM-2 says "it will take 10-15 minutes" or something like that (I can't remember the times), but it never took more than 5 seconds... maybe your S-FORM2 version is different than mine...

And one more thing... when it says "do you want physical format (y/N)", if I press "N" it makes the physical format but if I press "y", it doesn't...

It takes 5 seconds or so when it does the physical format (when you press "N" ). When you press "y", it takes 1 second.
