Hi Steve

That's story!

Yesterday, i tried to formatting "Atari Master Disk 3" using 1050 disk drive and DOS 2.5.
Just, i used the [P.] option (Format Single).
Just 20-30sec and the disk is formatted.
Than i choice [A.] option, and DOS report:
** 707 free sectors **

That done, i starting the DOS 2.5 using (this time) the XF551...DOS started perfectly.

Just i insert the formatted disk (atari master disk 3), than i choice [A.] option, and DOS report:
** 707 free sectors **

Hmm...this time the XF551 drive seems to works fine (It reads SD disks).

After which, i tried to formatting the disk in SD mode using the XF551.
Yeah...the disk is formatted [+707] with no errors.

Than, i tried to format i ED using the [I.] option (Format disk).
Yeah...the disk is formatted [+999] with no errors.

That done, i tried to starting the DOS XE (on the XF551 drive):

1. INITIALIZE DISK
2. AT810 [return]
Yeah...disk fromatted!! [90Kb]

1. INITIALIZE DISK
2. AT1050 [return]
Yeah...disk fromatted!! [130Kb]

1. INITIALIZE DISK
2. XF551 [return]
WOW...disk fromatted!! [360Kb...fantastic!]

1. INITIALIZE DISK
2. SSDD [return]
WOW...disk fromatted!! [180Kb]

Than, i tried with others disks.

ALL DISKS ARE FORMATTED!!!!

Steve, the XF551 seem to be UNLOCKED.

Thanks very much for your aid.
