The configuration 320
cyl, 4 Heads comes to mind for two of them, but I don't remember the configuration of the other
one.
The Kalok is 615 cylinders and 4 heads. It's currently
connected to a converter board, similar to the ones that Adaptec
used to make for connecting MFM drives up to various other interfaces.
Yeah? Which make/model? If it *were* Adaptec, I'd bet it's an ACB-4000,
in which case it's MFM<->SCSI (sortof). What sort of machine is it
going into?

That's not necessarily the case!
I recently got a SCSI box, originally designed as an attachment for a MAC, that
had a 3-1/2" drive (the one the configuration of which I don't recall) on the
order of 40 MB, but which had a board that I remember as NOT being an ACB-4000,
though it was of the 40xx series. It was, IIRC, an ADAPTEC board, but an RLL
board and, oddly enough, of a 3-1/2" form factor.
I'll look at it and let you know what it is.

Well, the 5.25" form factor RLL board was the ACB-4070.

Yes, I'm familiar with those. That's why I know this particular one isn't
one
of them. However, I've not yet looked to see what it really is, but I do
remember it isn't a 5-1/4" form-factor board.
