If this can be of any comfort to you, I just issued the same command (also in OS/2) on the JAZ 'tools disk' that I had low-formatted with the BIOS utility of my Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter (Iomega apparently doesn't want you to use this disk for your own data and I couldn't figure out any other way to nuke its content). Well, I got the same SYS0850 message, except that I had error 3 :-) Now if anyone knows a trick to format the JAZ tools disk, just let me know! The way I did it was to disable the write-protection, using the Jaz tools. After that I could use it any way I wanted. I have two of these disks; one of them I left formatted with FAT, and just added more files to. The other one I reformatted with ext2 for Linux.
