  While salvaging a cooked CP/M computer, I pulled a 10 meg Miniscribe
hard drive out of it. The part number is: 40002014, the model number is
2012. What I'm looking for is:

The number of cylinders
The number of heads
The number of sectors per track
What cylinder to start write precomp on

The drive came out of an Eagle CP/M computer, and has a ST-506 type
interface.

I'd like to replace the 5 megabyte Tandon I use with my TRS-80 with a
new, _huge_, 10 megabyte drive. Replies by mail please, if anyone else
cares about this, I'll mail them the results.

Thanks,
