I have in my possession a 3.5 inch hard disk made by Western Digital.
It is type WD582R.  I don't have any documentation with the drive.
I suspect that it is a ST506 compatible drive, but I don't know
the geometry.  Is there somebody in netland who has information
about this drive type?  I am interested in number of heads, cylinders,
sectors per track and any jumper settings needed to use it.

Thanks,
