[comp.periphs] Can anybody identify this drive?

Hi,

I managed to save a drive from a old about-to-be-junked Silicon
Graphics machine.  Unfortunately, no one knows anything about the
drive.  In order for me to use it or sell it i need the following
information:
	Manufacturer
	Capacity
	Interface
	Cylinder and  Head counts

Physical description: Full Height 5.25 inch drive
		      ST506 or ESDI interface

There were a whole bunch of stickers with info on them on the drive case.

A "Gii Honeywell Bull" sticker followed by "sa" surrounded by a BIG C and the code LR37930.  I've been informed that this relates to some Canadian regulatory agency.

another sticker:
	a backwards LR
	Type: D570
	+ U:N  CYD570D3
	XBE E82 00727

and still another sticker:

	TI RMSU 570A-001
	RG SQL: 004
	FCO: 

Thanks,
bob

 That's the UL approval for safety.

 As a desperate last resort, sometimes the low level format routine will
 report the current configuration for you to confirm, thhis often includes
 a short ascii string for the drive name...
