- Does anybody have the specs for an ST225-R hard disk. I recently bought this
- one used, and when I format it it gives me only 32Meg of space, but I am sure
- that it is a bigger drive. Specifically, the Western Digital controller I
- have, requires the following info (if I want to dynamically set up the drive):
-
- # cylinders
- # heads
- start reduce write cylinder
- write precomp cylinder
- max correctable error burst
- CCB option byte, step rate
-
- I am using IBM DOS 3.3. I also checked, and the disk does not have on it the
- specs. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanx
