[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Original IBM AT stuff.

I have a hard disk from a original type at that just about died.
I thought it was a 10 MB drive, was in the cmos as a type 2, and has the
following markings.  Computer memories model 6426-S.  It has defects on
heads 0 & 1 and on cyl 442.  The drive type list for type 2 says seagate
st225 & sim.  Is this the same for the real IBM setup also ?  What is the
params for this drive ?  Anybody have any info or comments on these drives ?

Secondly, The motherboard has 512K of memory made up of the stacked memory
that IBM used for higher densities for awhile.  Can I just pull up to all
4 rows of these paste up jobs and pop in standard 41256's to get 1 MB ?
Are there limitations ?  Is there any market for these paste up things ?

Thanks
