Today, I present the week's mystery part (or device for which the
documentation is lost [no, it isn't stolen]).

I've come into possession of some sort of 5.25" floppy drive.  Here's
the info:

Hitachi
Type: HFD516C1
P/N:  66X2603
E/C:  A38167

The only thing I'd like to find out is whether it's a 360K or 1.2MB drive.

I can just install it, tell the BIOS it's a 360K drive, and then see if
a torrent of errors insue.  Then again, the computer may just accept it and
merrily create corrupted discs.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  E-mail
prefered.

Thanks,

Jim Kweeder
