Formatting a SCSI drive in the 9100

<x-flowed>
1. Place the System Disk 1 floppy disk in the floppy disk drive.

2. Hold down the "Soft Keys", "F2", and "F4", and turn on the 9100A power
(or press the Restart button on the right side panel if the power is
already on).

3. When the display message indicates that it is booting from the floppy
disc, release the three keys.

4. Change to system Disk 2 when instructed by the display.

5. When the 9100A displays the READ message, the software can be loaded on
the hard disk by using the COPY function in the Main Menu to copy the
System and User disks (and the Programmer's software, if applicable) from
the floppy discs to the hard disk......

Well, I tried this, with a regular SCSI drive and nothing happened. So it
turns out that there is a Service Disk that is required to format the hard
drive.

So, does anyone have a disk labeled as such?
