5 heads, 977 cylinders, pre-comp/reduce (if req'd) 500, this drive is
usually type 17 in most AT rom disk lists.  AMI bios's have a habit
of having 987 cyl in type 17, and can present problems.

It will run 1:1 interleave nicely, RLL or MFM depending on your
controller.  MFM is usually 17 sectors/track, RLL usually 26 .

I have several of these in the voice mail systems I sell
in the field.  Good disk choice.  Hope you enjoy it.
