I am using the zenith controller card and data separator. The drive was JP7 closed at 3-4 and 15-16. Straight through cables, no twist. Ran PREP /Q enter the data for the HD in HEX 4 HEADS 267 CYL rwc 12C WPC 268 STEP CODE 1 LZ 29E
PAGE 61 of the Zenith Winchester supplement show a step code for a ST-412 as 1
PREP goes through all tests and disk initializing and complete normally not showing any errors, I got no LED light showing during any disk activity but could hear the drive working.
I then removed the FORMAT jumper on the controller card.
When I ran PART and verified the partitions and active boot partition set to Z-DOS everything seems perfect.
Now I reboot to the floppy drive to load the OS that I want to add to the HD. I type FORMAT E: /S/V and run it and get a response drive not found.
Stumped. What am I missing.
