- We have been using one of these disks for about a month on an ELC running
- 4.1.2 here, and so far it seems to work just fine. Ours was bought from Parity
- (the "Bootbox" series), and Parity recommended a slightly different entry
- for format.dat. You might want to try this:
-
- disk_type = "Micropolis 1924-21" \
- : ctlr = SCSI : fmt_time = 4 \
- : cache = 0x11 : trks_zone = 21 : asect = 11 : atrks = 63 \
- : ncyl = 2072 : acyl = 3 : pcyl = 2280 : nhead = 21 : nsect = 94 \
- : rpm = 5400 : bpt = 48124
-
- We also have several of the Micropolis 1908-15 1.6 GByte disks, and we are
- *very* pleased with these disks. We hope the 1924-21 will be just as good..
