Hello,

	I am trying to low level format an st251-1 with the adapter from
Western Digital ( WD1002SWX2A).  The problems that I am getting is that the
Computer thinks that the drive is has 4 heads and 611 cylinders, when in fact
it has 6 heads and 820 cylinders.  Could there be a possibility that the
card needs to be told the drive size?  I do not have any docs on this card,  so
I do not know what the jumpers are for.  If any of you are using this card and
have a list of jumper settings, I would appreciate it if you e-mailed them to
me.

Thanks

Stacy Coil
