The Quantum 105AT/LP IDE is a great drive.  One of the best that I've
come across.  Anyway the drive parameters for it are, 
DRIVE TYPE: USER DEFINED (47, 48, OR 49) depending on your bios.

It shouldn't matter to much.  Most IDE controllers a fairly good.
Unless you need to do something special, it should be configured
