- If anyone has a working format.dat entry for this drive please email me
- a copy and I will compare them. The entry in the format.faq is wrong
- as nsect should be 81 (not 80). (Or tell me I am wrong, 81 works OK).
-
- I have had the disk running for 6 months working from the Hitachi spec
- sheet but I do not know how to calculate the 'bpt' parameter. Can
- anyone verify 48526 is correct. As far as I can understand this is only
- used when it becomes necessary to map out new defects.
-
- Where can I get a copy of the MD21 controller manual referred to
- in the Sun documentation?
