No luck getting the image working.

Is there any info on what I should be seeing during the format
process?   I couldn't see anything in the documentation scans.

I was able to make a v1.4 service disk but all I'm getting during the
disc format is a blank screen and a seemingly endlessly flashing "Disc
Access" light.  Access LED on the SCSI2SD never illuminates.  One
time, after about 30 minutes all of a sudden the Busy/Stopped and More
softkeys/More information LEDs started cycling.  I pressed a key and
got a beep and it went back to blinking "Disk Access".   Still blank
screen.

I have two 910xFT units,  both behave the same way.  Swapping SCSI
cards between units, no change.   SCSI2SD and Fluke both are set to
512kb sectors.

SCSI2SD is definitely good, as is SCSI cable when hooked to a PC.
