I'd really appeciate it if someone could identify the two HP
hard disk drives I bought at a sale last week.
#1 is an HP 97544SF which I am pretty sure is a 396MB (unformatted)
SCSI drive.
#2 is an HP 97536F which is a SCSI drive, but I know nothing beyond that.
The list of HP drives I have, shows a 97530S series, at 136, 204, or 408
MB, and a 97540S series at 396-793 MB.
Thanks for any help provided.

The HP97536 drive is physically 1663 cylinders in size, with physical cylinder 776, track 0 reserved for the log track, physical cylinders 776 (except for track 0) to 794 used for sector sparing, and physical cylinder 795 is the native CE cylinder (which is unaccesible to the user). The user data area is 1643 cylinders in size. One of the user data cylinders is reserved, and another is the user CE cylinder. Also note that the disk contains 64, 256-byte sectors per track. The HP97544 has 1447 cylinders, 8 heads and 14(?) sectors. Login name: gz In real life: George Zisis. Phone +61 2 415 0515 O.
