Unformatted capacity:  47.03MB
Seek time (T to T):     3.0 ms
          (max):       60   ms
Data Cylinders:       645

Although this is not in the Atasi manual, the system I have with
one in it suggests reduced write current at cyl 128 and precomp at
cyl 320.

My experience with them is they either die young or run forever.
We have one here that has been in every system we have owned.  Put
it in, run it for a year or two and then replace it with a bigger one.
