: G'day to the world,

: I am after the correct dip switch settings for a Fujitsu 80 Meg harddrive,
: to work as a slave under a master 42 Meg Seagate harddrive.

: Fujitsu - Model#: m2616et. Serial#: 12817
: Sea Gate- Model#: ST351A/X 

: Settings for the Seagate are: 977 cylinders, 5 heads, 17sectors /MFM
: Settings for the Fujitsu are: 667 cylinders, 9 heads, 33sectors /MFM

:                                                  
: The dip switch settings for the Seagate (as a master) are:
: jumpers 4-3 
: jumpers 6-5

: The dip switch settings for the Fujitsu is what I need.

: Their are two banks of switchs, one has 4 settings, the other 6 settings.

: Initially, the switches are set (for a single drive).
:    on    x     x      x
:    off     x x          x x x x x
:           bank 1       bank 2

: I have tried many different configurations but obviously I cannot "hit" the
: correct settings. The best outcome I can get is power to both drives and
: the seagate working correctly but no access/detection of drive D: (Fujitsu).

: If anyone happens to have any information on the Fujitsu M2616et (80 meg) HD
: or suggestions then please reply. It will be greatly appreciated.

: Thanks for reading,

: Dave Maunder.     dmaunder@alsvid.scu.edu.au
