Please be more careful before posting things to the net. Some people
consider this a definative source of information! Type 3 drives (on
standard AT BIOS proms) have 6 heads and correspond to the CMI 6640
drives among others (6 -6000 series drive 6 -head count 40 -rounded
off unformatted capacity) not the 6426 (6 -6000 series drive 4 -head
count 26 -rounded off unformatted capacity) that IBM sold with the
original AT 20Mb config. The CMI 6426 is best approximated by drive
type 2.
