Hmm, from what I saw on IBM's web site
(http://www.storage.ibm.com/techsup/hddtech/dtla/dtlajum.htm), you can
limit the reported cylinder count to 4096, or you can jumper it so that
it reports 15 heads rather than 16. I didn't see anything that causes
the drive to appear as two drives to the host...
