From article <524@fedeva.UUCP$, by mitch@fedeva.UUCP (Mitch Wood):
$ I have already submitted one posting about this.. I had the model number
$ Totally wrong... it is a CDC 94205-51  40meg drive. So again, my question
$ is ... What is the drive TYPE for an AT class machine... and .. Should
$ I have any problems adding this as a 2nd hard drive unit along with my
$ Seagate 20meg as my boot drive? (C:)
$ 
The CDC 94205-51 has 989 cyl, 5 heads RWC=990, WPC=128.  I have one of
these animals.  Most AT drive tables I have seen do not have a match to
this drive.  When I was using it in an Epson Equity II+, I used Drive 
Type 17 (977 cyl, 5 head).  The new AMI BIOS has a type 47 that is user
defined.  If your BIOS has a user defined type, that is probably the one
you want.  Otherwise, you will have to settle on one that is 977 cyl, 5
heads.
