There is a published list put out by Drive Services Corporation.  The
latest list contains settings for over 1600 drive types.  Carsten, I
hope you like to type!  The only list on the net is very out of date, 
it only consists  of a hundred drives or so.  We've tried a couple of
times to get an updated list going, but so far it has gone nowhere.  

I think this information ( both the DRS reference and the list if 
it ever exists ) should become part of the FAQ for this group, since
people seem unwilling or unable to post these requests to 
comp.peripherals where they belong.
