My father has an AST Premium 386/c which has had a SWIFT 94354-125 drive
installed by the dealer recently. I believe (and Nortons Utilities 5.0)
that they have set up the drive incorrectly.

Their set-up was 1072 cylinders 9 heads and 29 sectors/track.

I think that they have 2 too many heads. The system runs but has occaisional 
trouble with files. Nortons refuses to have anything to do with it.

There seem to be two sub-models of the drive, one ESDI and one IDE.
Is this true? and how do I distinguish between them.

Why don't they put two different model numbers on them?
