[comp.sys.zenith.z100] ST-251 disk

gt4589b@prism.gatech.EDU (Davis, Jr., Martin H.) (06/13/90)

I want to install a ST-251 40 MB hard disk in my trusty Z, in place of the 
current 10MB Miniscribe that was in it when I bought it 4 years ago.

I have the Z-217 controller.

Has anyone had any experience installing this particular disk?  My reading
of Chapter 16 on PREP (from my Ver. 3 MS-DOS manual) seems to imply that
I have to use the /K option, but I have heard that's not necessarily so.
Are there versions of PREP that won't need the /K option to handle the
40MB of the ST-251?

I know how to handle PART since I've fiddled with that on my current disk,
so all I need to know about is how to PREP it.  I would appreciate hearing
from you if you've done this with the ST-251 (or similar disks).

Thanks.
