Need help formatting a Quantum LP240S hard drive.
« on: September 26, 2003, 10:23:25 PM »
Hello Amiga Fans,

I need help formatting a Quantum LP240S hard drive.  What are the parameters that I need to type into HDToolkit?

Cylinders:
Heads:
Blocks Per Track:
Blocks Per Cylinder:

Are blocks the same thing as tracks?     :nervous:

I am using Kickstart / Workbench 1.3.  HDToolBox does NOT read in the correct number of heads (which is 4).  Because of this, I think that it throws off the Blocks Per Track and Blocks Per Cylinder too.  The Quantum Web Site states that the LP240S has 1818 Cylinders and 4 Heads, but has nothing about blocks.  The number of 512 byte sectors is 479,350, which HDToolBox did pick up.  Is there a web site that lists all of the Amiga SCSI hard drive parameters for HDToolBox?  If there is not, there should be.     :roll:

Don't any of you guys have this drive in your Amiga?  Just look at it in HDToolBox and give me those parameters.  I need:

Cylinders:
Heads:
Blocks Per Track:
Blocks Per Cylinder:

Thanks     :crazy:

I am using Kickstart / Workbench 1.3 on an Amiga 2000HD computer. The hard drive is a Quantum 240 meg SCSI hard drive attached to a Commodore A2091 SCSI Controller Card. Comeon folks, this is a very simple question and none of you guys have answered it correctly! If any of you have a Quantum LP240S in your Amiga, give me the parameters:

Cylinders:
Heads:
Blocks Per Track:
Blocks Per Cylinder:

The first person to answer this question correctly will get $10.00 CASH from me !     :-D

To fragment:

Because it is compressed with a newer version of LHA and I only have an older version of LHA.  I downloaded the new version of LHA, but some stupid f**k compressed the actual LHA program with LHA!  To all Web Masters: [color=FF0033]NEVER COMPRESS THE ACTUAL LHA PROGRAM![/color]  Leave it as an EXE file, so people can use it to uncompress other files.     :-o
