I recently picked up an old Atasi 39MB hard disk drive for nothing and
was planning on hooking it up to my PC using a Western Digital
WDXT-GEN controller. In order to configure the drive I need the
specs, unfortunately the manual on the drive did not come with it.
So far I have these specs :
Atasi Model Number 3046
Access 33 ms
Capacity 39 MB
Has anyone seen one of these ? Is it equipped with a voice coil
actuator ? I need info like cylinders,heads,write precompensation
cylinder,actual drive capacity in millions of bytes,etc.
email please...?

Don't know anything about the WDXT-GEN controller so I don't know if that works with this drive. -- Howard Spindel - via FidoNet node 1:105/14 UUCP: ...!{uunet!oresoft, tektronix!reed}!busker!Howard.Spindel ARPA: Howard.Spindel@busker.FIDONET.ORG
