None yet but I'm considering the Seagate ST51270A 1.2Gb. The Seagate web
page quotes the logical organisation as 63 sectors/track, 16 heads and
2,485 cylinders. I suppose it's the 2,485 that's going to be the
problem.

I now see from the "Help - Installing new 1GB hard drive" thread that
Seagate drives have appropriate software supplied with them so hopefully
I should be OK.
