Microvax 2000, Vaxstation 2000 VS2k: MFM Formatter
By now I have three VS2k and can format my MFM disks RQDX3 like (except the Interleave) without the need to boot the MDM from TK50.
It is fast and simple, but not so cool as doing it with the MVII and TK50 – but it works.
A nice documentaion can be found here: http://www.vaxarchive.org/hardware/vs2000/fmtbob.html
