On the subject of the e.d. diskette:
Every enhanced s4diag I've seen has been a copy of one
I threw together a couple of years ago as a special
item for someone-since-forgotten. Perhaps Thad's
diskette is different: I'm always braced for surprises !-)
Since that time -- in fact, only about a month ago --
data & E-mail from Craig Votava made me realize
that my specifications for one of the drives is WRONG:
Maxtor XT1140 ACTUALLY has: 918 Cylinders
is LISTED as: 1024 Cylinders
1024 was the data I was provided at the time, and for
unrecalled reasons I think I'd even called Maxtor to
verify the data.
On the OTHER SIDE: I believe the value of 1024 HAS BEEN
SUCCESSFULLY USED -- but you wouldn't catch _ME_ risking
it. If _I_ had an XT1140, I'd use "OTHER" to enter the
details by hand. (Actually, I _DO_ have an XT1140...
but it was hand-initialized by someone with the correct
data.)
