1.0 Specifications
1.1
Formatted capacity
Medalist Pro drives are low-level formatted at the factory. You cannot
low-level format them.
These drives support cylinder-head-sector (CHS) and logical-block ad-
dressing (LBA) translation modes. You can use the Identify drive (EC
H
)
command to verify the address modes the drives support, the number of
cylinders, sectors per track, total number of sectors, heads and other parame-
ters. The Identify drive parameters are listed in Section 3.2.1 on page 29.
Notes:
.
1. DOS cannot access more than 2.147 Gbytes per partition.You
must create multiple partitions to access the drive’s full capacity.
2. One Mbyte equals one million bytes.
3. If the system BIOS does not support more than 4,096 cylinders,
it can cause the computer to hang during startup, or it can
truncate or wrap the cylinders. To resolve this issue, the system
BIOS needs to be modified: the cylinder register or variable must
be increased from 12-bits to 16-bits to accommodate more than
4,096 cylinders.
