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.
