The CP340 has:   4 heads
                26 blocks/track
               788 cylinders

  (the above data from Conner's manual, Preliminary Revision II October 1987)

As I recall from doing some testing with it, the CP340 is an exceedingly
quiet unit.

Performance specs: seek track-to-track 8ms
                        average 29ms
                        maximum 50ms
                   theoretical transfer rate: 1MB/sec
