I just received my brand new Mitsubishi MR535R RLL hard drive but no documentation was included. I need to know its specs in order to run setup on my AT. Until then, I cannot use the drive. If anyone knows how I can find out its specs, or if anyone has them, please email me and I will post here. Thanks very much...

I need to know its specs in >order to run setup on my AT. 5 heads, 977 cylinders, pre-comp/reduce (if req'd) 500, this drive is usually type 17 in most AT rom disk lists. AMI bios's have a habit of having 987 cyl in type 17, and can present problems. It will run 1:1 interleave nicely, RLL or MFM depending on your controller. MFM is usually 17 sectors/track, RLL usually 26 . I have several of these in the voice mail systems I sell in the field. Good disk choice. Hope you enjoy it. Macy M.
