Some days ago, I had the chance to buy a 2nd hand Harddisc but the cylinders/sectors/head infromation the vendor gave me seem to be wrong. Since I got the harddisc without a case and information I don't even know what brand it is... On top it says: imprimis M/N ST1100 and on the pcb: Rigidyne The vendor told me that it's a 80Meg MFM disc with 17 sectors, 9 heads and 1024 cylinders. When I format the disc with these figures I get errors. Has anyone an idea what kind of disc this could be. Any help is greatly apreciated. laci -- ******************************************************************************* * Laci Gaspar, University Basel, Switzerland * *******************************************************************************
