Message-ID: <926@houxm.UUCP> Date: Sat, 6-Oct-84 08:13:30 EDT Article-I.D.: houxm.926 Posted: Sat Oct 6 08:13:30 1984 Date-Received: Sun, 7-Oct-84 21:55:15 EDT Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel NJ Lines: 14 Several sources have come up with varying opinions about the optimal Gap Size and Blocks/cylinder for DECs RA81 drives. We're under the assumption of 728 Blocks per cylinder (14 R/W heads x 52 sectors/track). If 728 is correct, what should the proper gap size be considering 3600 RPM? Thanks in advance.
