Jason, the only thing I can find off hand states that the 3438 was a) a
32.7mg drive. 615 cyls, 4 heads, 26 sectors, b)that it is a 32mg ST-506
RLL and that it was 612 cyls(!!!). The former was from Mueller's
"Upgrading and Repairing PC's" and the latter was from Minasi's "PC Upgrade
and Maintenance Guide".
Nothing on jumper settings. Do you have a date on the drive? That might
help me dig through my pile O' stuff.
