He said it was a 30Meg drive, but the best I can get it to work at is 20Meg. I don't have any documentation for it, so that's why I'm asking... It's a full height drive All thats written on the drive is: Magnetic Perpherials Inc, Control Data MN: BJ7D5-A PN: 77731604 LOT: 0-8446 Currently I am using it as a type 2 (615 Cylinders, 4 heads, 17 sectors, 20Meg) and it works OK. If anyone knows the type or a good way to figure it out I would appreciate some E-mail (I won't be able to read here for the next few weeks). Thanks in advance... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Tony Salerno "A penny for your thoughts?" ajs@corona.att.com "A dollar for your death." =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - The Odd Couple =-=
