Btw., you can use whatever translation you want with `DD' mode, as long as the number of sectors per track is >= 15. Obviously, this wasn't the case for this (erroneous) 1/1 translation, but all `real world' translations should fit. That's one of the reasons why i'm advocating for `DD` that much; you'll soon forget the word `geometry'. ;-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
