The above are my opinions, which NCR doesn't really care about anyway!

A Micropolis 13x4 drive has 1024 cylinders and 6 heads (usually 17 sec/trk).
If, however, you have a Micropolis 13x4A, it has 1024 cylinders and 7 heads.

I hope this bit of information helps.

I have a Micropolis 1303 drive. It says on the casing it is a 43 Meg drive.
Does anybody know the parameters for this drive? ie no. tracks, no. heads, WPC,
RWC, etc.
