I have a S-100 with a R-F controller "I think". When I got it, it had some bubble errors so I tried to format it. I have 2 bubble cards both came up with different errors, 0007 0018 and 0007 0008 and at one time I saw a 0007 0010. Anyways I found this.

It was a little different. I dent need to do step 3.
3) Press "4" for "Bubble", then "2" for "Write by manual". You will get a message "Make BMU switch on".
I did need to flip the switch. So on step 5 I have 21 different 3 digit numbers and I don’t have a start. So after only getting half of it done because I don’t know what numbers to put in and I don’t have a start I get an error 0004 0200
My sticker on my bubble memory looks like this
A005 007 025 162 229 231 242 258
264
*** 423 *** 9
B046 138 215 217
*** 616 *** 4

I think that is the right sticker.
