	Hi there.  I'm looking for the parameters to setup a new WD Caviar
hard drive I just bought.  My CMOS doesn't have it defined so I tried
to install it as a User Type with no luck.  
The parameters I have are:
	Cyl.	Head	Pre.	LZ	Sectors
	1010	12	0	0	55

The problem I first get is the fact that my CMOS askes for WPCom not Pre.
Not being the world's greatest Computer user, I'm not sure if these are
the same thing.  Anyway, If anyone can help it would be appreciated.

	Also if anyone can point me in the direction of an updated CMOS that 
would be great too.  Mine is from 1990.

	One last thing.  The original hard drive I have installed
is a Maxtor 41M.  Does anyone know if it can be used in a master/slave
config with the WD?  And if so which jumpers I need to set to use it as the
master (or slave).  Anyway thanks for any and all help!
