I have a half-height 5-1/4" hard drive which has the following information printed on it: Model: DK503-2 13MB (10MB) Tokico LTD. Can anyone give me info on this drive? Why the 13MB/10MB. What format is it (OK MFM sounds like a good guess, but it doesn't hurt to ask.) Thanks in advance. +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Bill Poitras | Polygen Corporation | {princeton bu}!polygen!bill | | (bill) | Waltham, MA USA | - This space for rent - | | | FAX (617)890-8694 | bill@polygen.com | +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+

Why the 13MB/10MB. What format >is it (OK MFM sounds like a good guess, but it doesn't hurt to ask.) Yes, this is an MFM drive. I has 306 cyls., 4 heads, 2 platters, no WPC. It looks like it would be 10M for IBM and 13M for CP/M, as it is a very old drive. Actually the source I have says it's 17M unformatted, 10.46M formatted IBM. > >Thanks in advance.
