Thanks for all your help, I have identified both drives. The specs on the 
Priam are:
Summary of responses I received with respect to the PRIAM drive I've
got:
 
 The drive's model number is ID330-EC
 
 
Interface: ESDI or proprietary ML interface, depending on responder
			Either way, I can't hook it to my RLL or MFM boards.
			
Heads:	15
Cyl:	1218(from the folks who said is was ESDI) or 1225(the ML folks)
Platters: 8
Sectors : 36
Capacity: something in the 338Meg range.
 
 
the 808 cyl/16 hds I found written on the drive is probably a mapping
to fool an old BIOS.
 
Dip Switches:
DSEL 1,2,3 - drive select (#3? something in the funny priam interface,
		 I guess) factory set DSEL2 on , 1 and 3 off
SCNT 1,0	- sector size SCNT 1 0n, SCNT 0 off
SPN OP - unused according to one person, but when I flip it, the drive 
			doesn't spin up at power up.
ASK		-unused



The Fuji is :
Fuji FK305-39
It's a 39 meg RLL (32meg formatted) 1/2ht drive
2 platters
4 heads
615 cylinders
26 sectors/track
65 msec access
7,5 meg transfer rate
