1.1.2 Supported CHS translation geometries
These drives support any translation geometry that satisfies
all
of the
following conditions:
Sectors per track 63
Cylinders 16,383 (for drives over 8.4 Gbytes)
Read/Write heads16
Note.
The CHS addressing supports capacities up to 8.4 Gbytes. To see
the full capacity of drives greater than 8.4 Gbytes, use the LBA
addressing mode.
The ST317242A logical cylinders are:
Logical cylinders=33,683,328/(logical sectors per track × logical heads)
The ST313032A logical cylinders are:
Logical cylinders=25,434,228/(logical sectors per track × logical heads)
The ST310232A logical cylinders are:
Logical cylinders=20,005,650/(logical sectors per track × logical heads)
The ST38422A logical cylinders are:
Logical cylinders=16,841,664/(logical sectors per track × logical heads)
The ST34312A logical cylinders are:
Logical cylinders=8,420,832/(logical sectors per track × logical heads)
