Hi,

	Sorry for yelling, but I need the vital statistics on a
Miniscribe 3012.  It is a 10 Meg 1/2 height 5 1/4" hard drive that
uses MFM encoding.  What I need is the head count, cylinder count,
precomp, etc. - anything you can find.
	I cannibalized my old PC and moved this hard disk to the new
machine and, of course, things don't work well.  I have an AMS1100-M4
MFM HD/FD controller hooked up to it.  It seems to work fine at first,
but then I start to get a flurry of messages saying files are sharing
the same cluster and lost chains have been found.
	I suspect that the low-level format(s) that I performed might
not have been "correct."  The drive was in good shape beforehand, so
this is why I am asking for the details on the drive.


						Thanks in advance,
