Hi guys,
Someone has just donated an old ST506 hard drive to the DiscFerret
project... This time, it's an Amstrad drive, with part number 40095/A
"DRMD20A12A".
Thing is, I can't seem to find any information on it -- and at the very
least I need to find out what the CHS settings are in order to create a
DriveSpec file.
Here are a couple of photos:

I have one of those, it was the first working hard drive I had on my
PC-200. I believe it's a standard 615x4x17 type 2, 20MB drive, or that's
how I've always formatted it, I think it will also format up as a 32MB
if formatted RLL.
Cheers.
Phill.
