For an old IBM AT, I am trying to locate the table which contains
the dimensions (e.g. meg, cylinders, heads, etc.) of the 15 or 
so drives compatible with the original ROMs. I have looked in the
AT Guide to Operations and the Setup portion of the Diagnostics
program and can find no chart or table. Is there somewhere else I
should look? If not, might someone please E-Mail me such a table
if you have it handy? The machine is one of the original 6 Hz
IBM ATs with 20 MB CMI disk that we are planning to upgrade with
a 40 MB drive from a Zenith AT compatible (this drive is 40 MB with
5 heads and 922 cylinders, don't know what brand - type 10 in the
Zenith ROM setup). Thanks in advance. And thanks to all who replied
to my other previous queries about upgrading the HDs in these mach-
ines.
