Most, if not all, newer Seagate IDE drives have a special jumper setting 
that will boot a special diag/setup that is built into the drive, from there 
you can turn off or change the cacheing, of course you will probably need to 
drop the drive in a PC since it appears to be DOS based.

Don't know how you would do it with format, unless the "expert" mode of 
format works with ide drives...

My 2 cents worth....
