- Some days ago, I had the chance to buy a 2nd hand Harddisc but the
- cylinders/sectors/head infromation the vendor gave me seem to be wrong.
- Since I got the harddisc without a case and information I don't even know
- what brand it is...
- On top it says: imprimis M/N ST1100
- and on the pcb: Rigidyne
-
- The vendor told me that it's a 80Meg MFM disc with 17 sectors, 9 heads
- and 1024 cylinders. When I format the disc with these figures I get errors.
-
- Has anyone an idea what kind of disc this could be.
- Any help is greatly apreciated.
