I have reason to think I've mis-set the number of sectors my Micropolis
1375 SCSI hard disk (~150 MB) has - does anyone know exactly how many
sectors it should have?  Post or e-mail please!

	It has 8 heads and 1016 cylinders, and has 33 sect/track.  I don't have
a calculator so if you can multiply those together you will get your answer.
