to BILL WOLFF re: R/IDE INFO

|
|
|
Well, I'll open the bidding (on answering your Q's) with a LITTLE bit
|
|
of info - others will supply the details (grin).
|
|
Most IDE drives use ZBR - Zone Bit Recording. This means that the
|
|
number of sectors/track varies! The purpose is like the older Mac floppies:
|
|
to keep the recording density more constant. Since the inside tracks of
|
|
a hard disk (or floppy) are "shorter" (in circumference), it makes sense
|
|
to slow down the clock a bit, and write at the same BIT DENSITY.
|
|
This means that a format program that builds a traditional WD type
|
|
controller TRACK in memory then does the track format, won't work.
|
|
Some IDE drives will be hosed up by a low level format. Some will simply
|
|
return a response "Done!" when in fact they didn't do anything. AND, a
|
|
FEW are truly low-level-formattable.
|
|
I don't have details (I don't know which drives are able to be low-
|
|
level formatted, etc).

to ALL re: 486 UPGRADES
|

|
|
I'm in the process at looking at 486 motherboard replacements. Does
|
|
anyone out there have any comments on AIM vs. DTK vs. Micromics or others.
|
|
If I'm going to spend the $ I would like to make a good choice, and
|
|
not just a clone maker that makes a motherboard with a 486 chip in it!
|
|
It appears almost all the boards use AIM bios, and some boards can
|
|
address 16 MB, some 32 MB and others 64 MB. Any comments??
|
|
dup. chars.
