Well I don't know much about the TrumpCard.
I had a RocTec Rochard controller on my A500.
Anyway, Yes it should take more than just a couple
seconds to Low Level format a 40 meg drive, as a guess
I'd say 5 minutes or so, maybe a little less.
I had a 1 gig Conner drive on my A500 with OS 3.1.
With OS 3.1 you probably could run up to a 4 gig drive,
but that could also depend on your TrumpCard controller.

Have you tried selecting DH0:??? then doing a format from the workbench menu bar?
Restraining orders are just another way of saying I love you!

the dh0:???? dont show up on workbech after setting the drive up, i dont think hdtoolbox is formating the drive.
when i am jusing the orginal software that came with the drive the low level format takes about 3-5 min but i dont get any dh0:???? :-?
