|Rec. method     MFM
|Phys size      5.25 FH  
|Capacity         71 meg  (the 85 meg figure is unformatted capacity)
|Cylinders      1024
|Heads             8
|Red. Wr Curr.  1025
|Wr. PreComp    1025

	Since the XT-1xxx Maxtor series use
	plated media, they work reliably as
	RLL-encoded drives. I've been using
	a couple of XT-1085's set up as RLL
	for quite some time with no trouble
	(except for the general noise which
	Maxtors produce 8^).

	Rec. method     RLL
	Xfer Rate       7.5 Mbits/sec
	Capacity        105 meg
	Sec/track        25

	This information should work fine also
	for XT-2xxx series and Newbury drives
	with similar model numbers, as far as
	I know...
