I phoned Quantum Tech Support today, er, uh, yesterday. The QULT540S has 1049 cyls, 16 hds and 63 spt but since it's SCSI, the firmware response when queried such as by ExpertPrep is perfectly acceptable. In fact, the engineer indicated that as long as the combination of parameters used to set up the drive does not exceed the capacity of the drive it should function properly, and without significant variance in the data transfer rate. Just thought you'd wanna know. It's late so I'm off to experiment with the Quantum before hittin' the hay. //daniel on \X/ AutoPilot 1.75
