<br><font size=2><tt>Formatting a firewire drive in os9.2.2<br>
<br>
When I try to format a firewire drive in 9.2.2 drive setup v 2.1 it says
to<br>
all my firewire drives: "unsupported - can not format"...<br>
<br>
Years ago I was told the best apple formatting software was the simple
drive<br>
setup...<br>
<br>
So now how can I format a firewire drive in 9.2.2???<br>
<br>
BTW: for varied reasons - I don't want to format in OSX...<br>
<br>
