The number of cylinders on the 540 exceeds what 32 bit access will work
with. You need to divide your rive into two or more logical volumes with
neither on exceeding 512 MB (I think).

-> I went ahead and purchased a 540 megabyte IBM OEM drive from Micro
-> Machines for $695, and replaced my 360Cs' 170 megabyte drive. No problems in
-> the installation (the form factors are identical) and the device appears
-> to work just fine. The only oddity so far is that 32 bit disk access no
-> longer works in Windows for Workgroups -- the WDCTL device driver complains
-> about a phase error at 07,1F when starting up. Anybody have any hints
-> on that one? Turning off 32 bit access permits WfW to start up normally.

-> As previously posted on the list:
->
-> Micro Machines
-> 2120 Howell Ave, Suite 404-405
-> Anaheim, CA
-> 92806
-> (714) 978-2220
->
-> Here are some drive specs:
->
-> DHAA-2540
-> P/N 84G2983
-> MLC D43825
-> 540 megabytes: 1047 cyl, 16 heads, 63 sec/track, 12 msec avg. sec.
->
-> Of course, I now have a 2.5" 170 megabyte drive without a case :-(
-> Has anybody been successful in prying one of the bare cases out of IBM yet?
-> I note that there are three part numbers on my removable drive case sticker:
->
-> FRU P/N 66G5066
-> ASM P/N 66G2652
-> 66G3767
->
-> Maybe one of these corresponds to just the plastic case (and cable?)
