   Hi,
   	I'm trying to format/newfs a (supposedly) Quantum ProDrive LPS 105Mb
   SCSI drive under SunOS. It appears fine under probe-scsi from the bootrom
   but when I try to format it, format doesn't seem to like the information and
   demands all the geometry information. Does anyone:
   		a) know the geometry data
   		b) know where I can find the geometry (I've already tried
   		   http://www.quantum.com)
   			TIA,
   				Benno.

here are the entires in my /etc/format.dat:

disk_type = "Quantum ProDrive 105S" \
	: ctlr = SCSI : fmt_time = 1 \
	: cache = 0x07 : trks_zone = 6 : atrks = 0 : asect = 1 \
	: ncyl = 974 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 1019 : nhead = 6 : nsect = 35 \
	: rpm = 3662 : bpt = 16896

partition = "Quantum ProDrive 105S" \
	: disk = "Quantum ProDrive 105S" : ctlr = SCSI \
	: 0 = 0, 16170 : 1 = 77, 28140 : 2 = 0, 204540 : 6 = 211, 160230
