P.S.: I have implemented " Read format capacities" and now we know the 
capacity/ type of MD.
        Before sending format command i read capacity now and switch to 
"erase himd" if 
        capacity in 1011 MB. 
        Is there more information using "C2/00 Erase HiMD" scsi command?
        Maybe anyone has sniffed scsi packets while initializing/deleting 
tracks on 1GB HiMD
        with SonicStage.
