i just bought a st277n drive and noticed that it has 26 sectors
per track but only has 155 sectors per cylinder.  How does this 
work with the mountlist where you only indicate number of sectors
per track?  Will this drive work or am i missing something?

where does the number of sectors per track get used?
does the format command issue track formats, or does
it format a sector at a time?

so many questions, so little time.  
please help
thanks
