Thanks for the helps. Talking on the phone (haven't laid eyes on the
unit) From the nameplate etc. Zenith SupersPort 286 | ZWL-0200-02
Then had the gentleman read the available documentation (after giving an
idea of what to look for), he found a page with 'setup defaults' for the
40meg system, with an accompanying note that the disk type for the 20meg
system is type 6. Eureka!!
