Subject: How many sectors/track in 3B2 ESDI drives?

Hi folks,

     I'm rolling my own high-capacity drive for a 3B, and I don't
know how many sectors per track I need.  The drive is a CDC
94196-766 (766MB) with the ESDI interface, and it's talking to an
AT&T Disk Controller Module (DCM/4E).  There is configuration
header that lets me pick 96, 53, 54, or 51 sectors per track,
with 53 being the default.  I recall that on my 386 machine and
the WD1007 interface I had to change this, so I'm at a loss with
this one.  The DCM uses an Emulex SCSI-to-ESDI controller, but
I can't really tell which is the part number.

     Anybody have any ideas?

     Steve
