It will work - I have a couple of LPS540's running on my Sun's at home.

Here's the format.dat entry I used:

disk_type = "QUANTUM LPS540S" \
	: ctlr = MD21 : fmt_time = 2 \
	: trks_zone = 4 : atrks = 0 : asect = 2 \
	: ncyl = 2113 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 2740 : nhead = 4 : nsect = 125 \
	: rpm = 4500 : bpt = 73500

Regards,

Craig.
