Standard AT Drive Type 3 yields 32.1 mb
Drive is capable of 38.7 mb with device drivers (like SpeedStor, Dub-14, 
etc.) which allow specification of disks which do not match the AT drive 
types exactly.
Don't know anything about the WDXT-GEN controller so I don't know if that 
works with this drive.
