        Could someone give me a hand with a hard drive I'm trying to
set up?  The drive is made by CDC, 30 meg, with MFM interface.  I think
it's a Wren I, model number BJ7D5-A.  I'm trying to install the drive on
a Zenith Z-248 PC, and I'm not sure what setup info I should use.  Does
anyone know what the relevant technical specs are for this drive (i.e.,
the number of head/platters, the safe parking cylinder, etc)?  The
ROM setup program for the Z-248 requires you to enter a "drive type"
number, but no CDC drives are listed in the manual.  Does anyone know
which number to use?
