-
- I was going to email to this person but since so many people have asked
- about this and I have emailed a few people I thought I would post it once
- and for all:
-
- I do not have a format.dat entry but you can use the following parameters
- for the format program to get it to work:
-
- Cylinders Alt Cyl Phys Cyl Heads Sectors/Track
- 2623 2 2625 11 144
-
- I have used this on a drive here with no apparent problems.
