I acquired a Western Digital hard drive that I need some info on.
The model number is FK302-26.  It says it was made for W.D. by
Fuji Electric, Ltd, of Japan.  This is a 3.5", half-height drive.
It appears to be MFM (or RLL), as it has two connectors.  I was
told it is 20Mb.  From the defect map, I can tell it has at least
four heads and 435 cylinders.

Communication with W.D. has repeatedly resulted in them sending the
wrong information.  I would like to know the following info:
# of head, # of cylinders, # of sectors, write-precompression,
landing zone, how to activate/deactivate the terminating resistor,
and the purpose of the 12 switches.  If you could provide any of
this information, or an address/phone# of Fuji Electric, I would
appreciate it greatly.
