     The Toshiba MK134 has 7 heads and 733 cylinders.  Write precompensation
is specified for cylinders 512 up.  Access time averages 25 msec.
     This drive works fine for RLL - it formats to 68 megabytes.  If you 
choose to operate it this way, avoid the Adaptec 2372 controllers - they do
not support write precomp.  The DTC 7287 does.
