Hi, I'm looking for the specs of my Miniscribe HH 725 B hard disk. It used to be built into a PC/XT, formatted as a 20Mb MFM drive. I now want to use it with an Atari ST, connected to an RLL controller. I need to know the following: # of cylinders # of heads reduced write cylinder write precomp cylinder landing zone seek rate Thanks in advance. -- Herbert van den Bergh, ORACLE Europe hbergh@oracle.nl, hbergh@oracle.com Rijnzathe 6, NL-3454 PV De Meern uunet!mcsun!orcenl!hbergh Phone: +31-3406-94211
