Maxtor XT-4380 E hard disk (as well as all other ibm esdi-drives) has
a certain configuration block written on disk. This configuration
block (sector) contains such information as : No of bytes per sector,
no of heads, no of cylinders, no of sectors per track etc ... and
ASCII text 'IBM HARDFILE TYPE XXX' and type number in hexadecimal.

So you are not able to change RT and PS drives even if they look like
the same. Sorry.

BTW the configuration block is written on physical track 0, physical
head 0 and sector 2 ....
