(I'm posting this for a friend; please send MAIL to me or to
yetsko@interlan.interlan.com; my news connection is iffy, and I
might not get followups. Thanks!)
I recently realized that the PRIAM ID-60 drive in my PC-AT is not a
PRIAM, but in actuality a Vertec 175. I was told that PRIAM shipped
the Vertec 195 another model at one time also, and the the Vertec
drives were usually much larger than the alledged size of the PRIAM.
What I would like to find out is the true size of the Vertec 175, and
the actual number of heads and cylinders and specs for precomp for the
175. I plan on getting rid of the PRIAM driver and using ONTRACK on
my PC-AT so I can finally use DOS 3.3 instead of 3.2. If the Vertec
175 is only marginally larger than the specs on the PRIAM, I may just
go with the PRIAM spec so as to retain the flaw map and other
'internal' information for the PRIAM driver that is written on the
inner cylinders by PRIAM.
Thanks.
