For a Miniscribe 3650, the number of heads is 6 and the number of
cylinders is 809.  I don't know the other information you asked for,
but I didn't need it when I formatted my 3650 with an Adaptec 2070A
RLL controller.  The only other piece of information I needed was the
step pulse rate, 3.  By the way, my 3650 and Adaptec 2070A are performing
flawlessly.  60 megabytes for about $400 -- not bad!  This is a good
solution for somebody who needs 60 megs in a half-height drive for not
too much money.
