; Does anyone know anything about the Quantum Q540 hard drive? Is this a
; standard ST506/412 interface drive? If so, what XT or AT controller
; works best with it?
The Quantum Q540 is about as vanilla an MFM ST506 drive as you can get.
You must inform your low-level formatter to begin write pre-compensation
at cylinder 256. If you do not have one of the very smart diagnostic
programs you can specify drive type 7 to setup and get use of 462 cylinders
by 8 heads.
; Thanks for the info.
You are welcome.
