My question was:

Q: I need a format.dat for the 1Gb IBM OEM 662 - S12.

Q: I have tried the scsiinfo program, but it cannot extract the
Q: information from the disk. I suppose it's because the label is
Q:corrupt, which I get a warning about, when I boot the machine. It
Q: says wrong magic number.

Thanks a to blymn@awadi.com.AU (Brett Lymn) for the following answer,
which did the job:

A: be able to use scsiinfo to get the real disk geometry.
