In his note, Mark Becker complains about the AMI bios as not handling
odd geometries.  Please note that this bios has a special entry for
odd geometries that handles and non standard one.  Note that one
entry, the last one, is empty.  If you select this one it prompts you
for all the parameters and I have used it to play with my disk to
see if it had any extra tracks.  It also handles my RLL controller this
way to handle the extra sectors.  It works fine.  You don't need to
mess with the checksum or change roms at all. 

(I have the same Mylex board)
