- The disk drives on the Apollo DN3000/4000 and DN3500/4500/5500 series
- are ESDI disk drives. Yours is probably a Micropolis 1355 given its
- raw disk capacity of 170 Mb. The Apollo Domain/OS disk I/O drivers
- do not require the user to enter the drive geometry (they either have
- it builtin, or in the case os SCSI drives they seem to get the
- necessary info from the drive itself). As a result, I have no idea
- what the drive geometry is, although almost any Micropolis distributor
- could look it up from the drive's spec sheet.
