Re: megaboard and ST-157R

[bn281@torfree.net (Don Melton)]

Paul,

ST157R:
Heads: 6
Cylinders: 615
Write Prcompensation: I don't have write precomp. information, but typically 
you can use the maximum cylinder number/2 =307 in this case. 

P.S.  The ST157 is an *RLL* drive not MFM -- I don't know if your 
controller will be able to handle it.

be seeing you ... Don
