There is no "type" entry in the AT setup program which corresponds
exactly to the Quantum Q540 drive (# of cyl, hds, and precomp).  A
type 7 comes the closest but uses only a subset of the available
disk space.  I have heard of a program called Speedstor* which can
be used to create loadable drivers for hard-disks which do not
correspond to one of the 15 possible "types".  Can anyone give me
more info on this or any similar program?


Sincerely,
Scott Baker
