[comp.os.minix] Hard disk identification

jim@cs.vu.nl (Jim van Keulen) (09/30/90)

I came into the possession of a Western Digital WD582R hard disk
without any documentation.  So I don't know anything about the 
drive.  From the connectors I get the impression that it is a ST506
compatible drive.  Is there anybody in netland who knows this type?
I am interested in geometry, number of cylinders, heads, sectors/track
and jumper settings to make it usable.  Which DOS disktype should I use?

I also have a WD1003V-MM1 disk controller to connect the drive to.

Thanks,
