I am trying to initialize my 5364 hard drive form the services menu option 6. I get past the first two screens until it prompts for the bad sector map. The drive has 7 heads 732 cylinders. It is listed in the drive as type 0665 44mb. The same type as my AT.
The screen prompts for cylinder, head and then offset in bytes from index the acceptable value is 13 to 10353. My hard drive list a bad sector may as cylinder, head, sector.
I do not know how to make the translation from cylinder, sector to cylinder, bytes from index.
It's an ESDI drive that I would like to find a replacement. I have found an ESDI emulator online, but have no idea it it could be used as a replacement.
