As an addendum to my last message, I tried one head parking program
(not a timed one), which happily told me that my heads were parked
at track 614. This is great, except my drive has around 820 tracks.
The number 614 is indeed what is shown by the BIOS table entry.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a program that will
automatically park the heads in a SAFE place after a certain time,
tha will cope with a partitioned disk and a number of tracks that
differs from that shown in the BIOS table.

Thanks
