I borrowed a Jasmine 40M harddrive (usually goes on a Mac.) to plug into my Amy. But like all Mac-n-trash documentation the only technical info is which icon to click. I opened up the Jasmine box and found a Quantum Prodirve 40S. Does anyone know the track/sector info for one of these babys? Please e-mail me the info... Thanks in advance =============================================================================== Gehri Grimaud gehri@cc.usu.edu Utah State University gehri@usu.bitnet Office of Computer Services tel.

Michael Sharpe sent me this: } From: ir301%sdcc6@ucsd.edu } Subject: Quantum 40 } } I just got one myself and am about to install it. The figures I got were } Surfaces=3 } BlocksPerTrack=31 } HighCyl=879 } which gives a total of 3 X 31 X 879 = 81747 sectors. As SCSI cares only about } the total number of sectors and ignores other parameters, this would seem to } be about right. If other information you get appears radically different, } I'd appreciate a message. The computer repair shop on campus had a book on harddisks. The information which I used (which worked) came from the book. Here are the three listings it has for Quantun SCSI drives.

It gave me 35 Meg formated on the Amiga. =============================================================================== Gehri Grimaud gehri@cc.usu.edu Utah State University gehri@usu.bitnet Office of Computer Services tel.
