  Has anyone had any experience in formatting a hard disk for more
cylinders than it is rated? I know some BIG drives tend to be able to do
this, but I was wondering about more popular ones such as the ST251 and
similar. I am particularly interested in if I can format my ST251 beyond
820 cylinders.
