Dear all,
I have my answer on format.dat entry for DEC DSP3105S

The consensus entry is :

disk_type = "DEC DSP3105" \
    : ctlr = MD21 : fmt_time = 13 \
    : ncyl = 2568 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 2570 : nhead = 14 : nsect = 57 \
    : rpm = 5363 : bpt = 29184

partition = "DEC DSP3105" \
    : disk = "DEC DSP3105" : ctlr = MD21 \
    : c = 0, 2046072

which can also be expressed as :

Number of Tracks per cylinder 14
Number of Data cylinders 2568
Number of Alternate Cylinders 2
Number of Physical Cylinders 2570
Sectors/track 57
Rotational Speed 5363

when formatting the disk under SunInstall

It was noted that the DEC DXP3105S is the same disk as the MAXTOR DSP3105
