Hello, I just recently purchased a segate 296N HD  & a Stardrive SCSI
controller for my 1000,
the problem is that the info accompanying the drive was TERRIBLE, (ie
Segates 'general' manual
didn't even include the 296N) so I'm having a little trouble putting
togeather a mountlist, what I'de
like to know are:
# of cylinders & surfaces (I believe this corresponds to the # of drive
heads)
if anyone has a mountlist for the 296N I'de appreciate it if they could
send it to me...
thanks in advance
