	The subject line says says it all.  I know there are 15 heads and 1224
	cylinders, but how many sectors per track should a Maxtor 2190 be
	formatted for?  Please mail to the address below, don't use "reply". 

Since this IS of general interest, I'm posting also.  The XT2190 has 17 sectors
per track as do all ST-506/412 MFM drives.

HOWEVER, it appears to me that he's gonna have problems because the menu for
the "enhanced" s4diag disk clearly specifies the characteristics of the XT2190
and he's not going to have success formatting the XT2190 on the 3B1 without
that disk, without the P5.1 upgrade, and without a WD2010.
