Has anyone got a RZ-24 working on their Amiga? What are it's
characteristics ie blocks, sectors heads etc??
The 23 I was getting has turned into a 24 :^))) and I'm hoping to try
it when I buy an interface this weekend. I've done rzdisk on it to make
it spin up on power up. Anything else, or is it all plain sailing ;^)

I have an RZ24 on my system with various SCSI adapters: GVP, A2091, Imtronics 030 built in SCSI port. The RZ24 has 409728 blocks. So devide that into heads, cyls, sectors like 8 heads, 1224 cyls, 41 sectors (8*1224*41 = 409728) john | |||||
| 4779.2 | The drive can provide correct info for you | BOMBE::MOORE | Amiga: Where 'multimedia' REALLY began | Wed May 29 1991 17:17 | 3 |
The software that comes with most current SCSI controllers will read
geometry information directly from the drive. You probably won't have
to 'make up' any of the numbers, just use the default values...
