    "Moroless". I remember some WD and Seagate controllers had more than 
just a low level formatter. I'm quite sure (although I don't see that in 
more than 10 years) that some seagate cards had a big menu with options like 
changing interleave, finding best interleave, low level format, surface test 
et al. Maybe I'm mistaken, who knows? :oP
