DOC formatting problems

DOC formatting problems

[raji lakshmi suresh]

hi all,
   i have a DISKONCHIP 2000 and i am unable to format it.
my BIOS recognizes the DOC but while i try to format it using the firmware (doc504.exb) i get a format failure message.

i am using the DOC in an ISA board in a pentium machine.
(address c8000)
the actual messages i got are below.

formatting DOC with doc504.exb
command : dformat /win:c800 /s:doc504.exb
