My disktab states that rz55 have the following parameters:

rz55|RZ55|DEC RZ55 Winchester:\
        :ty=winchester:ns#36:nt#15:nc#1224:\
        :pc#649040:bc#8192:fc#1024:\

ns*nt*nc gets a totals of 660960 sectors which is not equal to pc#
(649040), a difference of 11920 sectors.

What are the correct parameters for this kind of disk ? How can I
utilize the whole of it ?

Can I connect the disk to Suns workstations (scsi), any one has a
format.dat entry for it ?

Tnanks in advance,
