HELP HELP! Miniscribe 3085 under sysV/AT

[William Ricker]

I've found since my previous posting that this drive has 1170
cylinders. Fdisk doesn't like it and neither does uport. I'm running
System V/AT 2.4. So currently I've set the number of cylinders to
1024, which means I'm only getting 62 of the 71 meg of the drive :<<<.
I'm also really disappointed at the performance. My previous drive was
a Seagate 4051 39ms drive. This drive was advertised as a 22ms (many
other adds claimed it to be 17/18ms) drive, but the performance I'm
getting seems to be twice as slow as my old drive :(((. Is this drive
really such a pig? I believe the drive parameters are 1170 cylinders,
7 heads, 1170 landing zone, -1 write precomp. Can any one help me
please?

Thanks in advance
bill
