It's an IDE AT drive, 21mb, 3.5" HH, 782cyl, 2 hd, 27 sectors per track,
783 LZ, 70ms access, no WPC/RWC. By the landing zone being listed it's old
enough that it probably needs to be parked by software. By pinouts do you
mean the 40 pins that the cable attaches to the interface card? My guess
is that the interface is an ST05X or ST11.

Are you using it in a stock PC/compat or are you going to modify it to use
in another machine?
