Sun Drive Physical Topology
First of all, hello! Glad to see someone's trying to create something to replace the fallen Nekochan. I'd been a member over there for many years; truly sad to see it go, or at least disappear.

Second, I'd had a question that someone here might be able to answer:

I recently obtained a 73GB FC-AL drive for use with a Sun Blade 1000 workstation; however, in order to load Solaris onto the drive, I need to be able to format it. As this is the only computer I own with FC-AL capabilities, it's about the only machine on which I can attempt this format. Auto-configure does not work; thus, I require the physical topology --- cylinders, heads, etc. --- in order to format the drive. I've searched the internet, and can't seem to find any such relevant information.

The drive was manufactured specifically for Sun machines by Fujitsu; it's listed as a SUN72G type drive, model MAT3073FC (alternately just MAT3073F), Sun part number 390-0166-02. 10K RPM.

Anybody out there who might be able to help me with this?
