|     Anyways, to get to my question.  The ST-296N has the same problem in the
|Trumpcard utilities.  The program lists the ST-296 as having:
|     Capacity (# blocks) = 160,140
|          # cylinders    = 785
|  
|     Seagate drive specs for the 296N are 165851 blocks.  Well, I'd like
|to format the drive w/ the Seagate specs and get the extra space, but I
|don't know how to figure out the number of cylinders to go along w/ it.
|     Cross multiplying gives me an approx. figure of 813 cylinders....
|Is this correct?  If somebody can offer a solution or suggestions, I'd 
|really appreciate it.

	The ST296N has 820 cylinders with 6 heads.
	There are 34 sectors per track. The result
	is 167280 blocks or 83.64 MB.
