I have a Convergent MiniFrame, sort of a close cousin to the 3B1.
I replaced the WD1010 with a 2010 and saw no change in disk speed.
Remembering the discussion about 'restore only' steprate change, I started
perusing .h files when I found #define STEPMSK 7 in gdisk.h.  It would
appear that I can't set the step rate to 14.
Might this be why some level of 3B1 UNIX won't take advantage of the new
chip, or is the MiniFrame different in this respect?
