Profile Hard Drive: Info, Maintenance, and Formatting
by Patrick Schaefer (March, 2000)

Good news first: everything in a Profile is serviceable. The drive
mechanism is a regular Seagate ST506/412 (IBM AT drive),
Low-level Formatting
...
Formatting a Profile requires an Apple ///, some software and a special
formatter chip that replaces the Z8 chip on the logic board.


The ST506 is an MFM drive. Is it possible to use an old PC, with an
MFM controller, and a PC low level format utility? I think I still
have all this stuff, circa 1985.

Or is the low-level format information for the Profile somehow
different than for a PC?

I expect that it is quite different--along the lines of Disk ][
formatting.
