-**Note:** Seems to work only with Standard MD media.
+This command completely blanks the medium. This is not possible with Hi-MD 1GB media, as the Disc ID is read-only. Standard MD media completely blanked are usable in standard MD devices. This is the only way getting rid of Hi-MD format on a standard MD medium.

+    * Bit 2: NOFS (Don't generate FAT FS? - must be cleared on RH-1)
-**Note:** Maybe works with Hi-MD 1GB media, too.
+This command just reinitializes the Hi-MD data structures on the Medium, but it doesn't remove the Hi-MD layout from it. It generally keeps the Disc ID, as this data is stored *outside* of the area accessible using normal read/write instructions, and only this area is reinitialized.
