I am trying to install a 40 meg Mitsubishi hard drive (MR535) on a
Western Digital WD1002A0-WX1 controller.  When I go into the ROM
hard disk formatter on the card, it does not prompt for the drive's
parameters (number of cylinders, tracks, etc.).  It will only format
it with 4 heads and 612 cylinders, like the drive that originally
came with this PC clone (a Kaypro PC).

I have no documentation on the controller.  Is there a jumper to
change on this controller so that it will accept manually entered
disk parameters?
