I acquired an IBM hard drive type 0665. It's a FH drive made in Havant, England. When I tried searching for the parameters for this drive, I came across 3 different type 0665s. There's a 0665-30 (20M), 0665-38 (30M) and a 0665-53 (44M). Can anyone tell me how I can identify which 0665 this drive is? It only says it's a type 0665. There is an additional label on the machine that has this number: ESP 177-38. I don't know if the -38 on this label means that it is a 0665-38. Can anyone provide any other info to id the drive?
Additional info: I tried it as a 20M (type 2 in AT setup) and it fdisked and formatted fine. I then tried it as a 30M (type 8 in AT setup) and it also fdisked and formatted fine so I believe it is actually a type 0665-38. It came out of an 8Mhz PCAT so it makes sense that it would be a 30M drive.
