I believe I have an image of the 10 MB host adapter ROM.  What I have been 
trying to find for almost ten years is the _format_ utility for that drive.  I 
have everything else required to setup and format Seagate ST506 and ST512 
mechanisms for use in a ProFile and have brought a few of them back to life 
already.

For some reason, no one seems to have the 10 MB utility.  I've taken several 
stabs at disassembling the 5 MB formatter in search of a track counter, but 
never found anything that made sense.  If someone can come up with either a 
patch, the source code or an actual disk image of the 10 Meg formatter, I will 
be eternally grateful!
