Original Question:

Does any have a format.dat for a Seagate ST32171N 2.1gb Barracuda?
According to the Seagate specifications I've been able to
gather the following information.

rpm = 7200
ncyl = 5178
acyl = 2
pcyl = 5176
heads = 5
nsect = 165
bpt = 102500

This is for a Sparc 10 running SunOS 4.1.4

Thanks
