- All,
-
- Someone I know recently got a very good deal on a used 70MB ESDI drive made
- by IBM, to be used in a Microlane 486DX/33 clone with an AMI BIOS and an
- Adaptec ESDI controller. But he doesn't know which drive type number to
- use in the CMOS Setup of the system's BIOS, because the drive came with no
- documentation.
-
- It is a full-height, 5.25" hard drive, probably used in a PS/2 or
- late-model AT system. The "type" printed by IBM on the drive is 0667,
- with the letters VOC written above. The IBM Part Number is 65X1432. The
- serial number is 071289-ESP213-85 (don't know if that will help). Could
- some kind soul who knows about this drive either provide the AMI BIOS type
- number, or at least info. on heads, cylinders, sectors, interleave, etc.?
-
- Please e-mail any responses, as I do not read this newsgroup. Thank you
- for your time.
-
- Regards,
-
