I have a Quantum Fireball_TM2110S (2.1 Gb).

I do not believe there is a description of this device in the
disktab.

Has anyone written one?  Or point me towards more info to read about
how to write one?

<http://support.quantum.com/specs/spec_fb3.htm> has a lot of info
about the disk, but doesn't mention a few things (like cylinders).

So far I have:

#/dev/rsd4c
type: SCSI
disk: SCSI disk
label: Quantum TM2110S
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track:		# Quantum's data says 104-210
tracks/cylinder:	# Quantum's data does say: 6,810 tracks/surface
sectors/cylinder:
cylinders:
total sectors:
rpm: 4500
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0		# milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0	# milliseconds
drivedata: 0

Thanks
