Hi, I'm somewhat familiar with the TM703 as I just robbed one out of old
Xerox 6085 workstation to use as my minix drive. It's basically a 30mb
drive with 694 cylinders and 5 heads (if I remember correctly.) Unfortunately
I don't have any info about Write-Precomp, etc. However, using defaults
with my Everex PC, I just changed the cylinder & head count in Everex's
disk utilities and it formated and verified with no problem.

Just a little more nonsense to clutter up the net.
