Really ancient I guess, and possibly incorrect. They're 21 mb, all IDE 40 pin
interface. The -A is a faster IDE AT, the -AD is a 3:1 (slower) IDE AT and
the -X is an IDE XT. The access time is 70 ms for all three. The heads are 2
and the cylinders 782 (as above) but the sectors per track are 27, not 26
(typo??). The landing zone is 783 (not an auto parker/auto locker) and it's a
3.5" HH case. There is NO translation given for the drive specs so the
782/2/27 is what should be used. Since it's an IDE there should NOT be a low
level format performed on the drive.
The reference for TheRef that was given is a great reference but these specs
came from the most recent Pocket PCRef by Sequoia Publishing. I've always
found these to be extremely accurate.
