A while ago I asked for help in identifying a mysterious disk drive so I could get it to work. Thank you, it works now, but I still don't know what it is. I do, however, know that it is a CDC 8-inch fixed disk, and has 1217 tracks, 10 heads, and 48 sectors/track. (Oh. SMD interface, too.) Can anybody out there tell me the model number or something? advthanksance -- Mark Buda / Smart UUCP: hermit@shockeye.uucp / Phone(work):(717)299-5189 Dumb UUCP: ...rutgers!bpa!vu-vlsi!devon!shockeye!hermit I hate this $%$@%!$@%!@$%@#$@!% machine.

Both the CDC Sabre 368 megabyte and 500 megabyte drives have that number of cylinders. There are three different types of drives for each of those sizes in the series, so the exact model number is impossible to determine without more information.
