This is the disk that Solbourne seems to ship as their "327 meg" disk. I greatly suspect that this is the traditional under-use for interchangeability with Wren's, and I'm not going to dispute the practice. I'd just like to know the *real* geometry so that I can use the whole thing. I could probably just keep upping it until format breaks, but that's inconvenient on your root disk.

You could issue SCSI Read Capacity and Mode Sense with Page Code 3 and 4 commands, perhaps, to get all the gory details. Chris Johnson DOMAIN: chris@c2s.mn.org Com Squared Systems, Inc.
