        I have a Segate ST-412 10meg drive hooked up to an A2090 card.
        As this type of drive wasn't on the PREP list of drives I used
        ST-442 (which is an ST-506 20meg type of drive (i think)).
        When I formatted DH0: I noticed that I had 323 cylinders (format
        died with a 'Can't fine device' type of error).  I've since defined
        the drive as a 4 head generic 10meg drive and it works fine with
        305 cylinders.

        Since 10 meg = 305 cylinders, how can I make use of the other 18
        cylinders?
