Mark,

nonono :) I had rebooted, started a format,
^C'd it to stop the format, by then about
3 or 4 lines of numbers had gone by. So,
I guess that the main directory had
been trashed, that's all.

Since I use script files to do all the
work, sometimes it's hard to stop the
process. Mostly I use ^C but if that
doesn't seem to work, then a ^E usually
stops the script file's progress.

> No refresh......poof, no memory.

Sorry my mistake, refresh is happening
always, in all banks of RAM
(CAS before RAS).
The memory chips that are on the 
sticks accept this kind of refresh
and internally auto increment their
own counter, slick! Theses are hand-
picked memory sticks.

No Mark, you're on the ball!

========================================
New Topic:

Robert,
I got /r0 to format without the numbers
going by, changed dmode'ing TYP=80, now
FORMAT thinks it's a hard-drive and asks
the proper questions (which I reply
no to).
