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:

Major chips are:
Hitachi HD63B01Y0P
SanKen STA435A
Hitachi HA13426
CF77143FT
SSI 540-3CH S8714 32119.1.1F
Hybrids: SC619 and SC628
Text at top corner of PCB near power connector: PY349C
Head stepper motor is labelled:
TYPE 103-4902-0320
10.5VDC 0.26A 0.9 DEG/STEP
LOT NO. 05709I
6035095-1
Form factor is 3.5-inch, half-height (about the same height as a 5.25 HH
MFM drive)
From what I can gather, it's a 20MB MFM drive, with four heads --
there's a sticker on the top which reads:
DEFECT:CYLINDER
HEAD0
HEAD1 327 386 426 504
HEAD2
HEAD3 216
(The numbers are handwritten -- badly)
There's a second sticker along the edge:
W A R N I N G
WARRANTY VOID
IF THIS SHIELD
BROKEN
Does anyone have any idea what this thing might be?
Thanks,
--
Phil.
