My PC AT has completely recovered thanks to the following people:
	Conway Yee
	Kevin Martin
	Michael Volow
	Robert Collins

Here is some info in addition to Robert Collins' excellent post:

1) The hard disk has a sticker with the disk type stamped on it.

2) There is a useful file in the simtel20/wuarchive archives which prints
   out the hard disk parameter table:

   Directory PD1:<MSDOS.DSKUTL>
   DRVTYPES.ARC  B    5968  880324  Display drive types your AT recognizes
