Hey guys, I bought a WD1002A-WX1, on the bios chip sticker is 62-000094-0032, I'm not sure what bios revision it is when I use debug it says Super Bios Formatter Rev 2.4, 1987.
Here is a picture of what it shows when I say yes to dynamically setting the drive, if I don't set it and just go through the options it sets my drives for 20mb, I believe this card should be able to use the ST-251 at it's full capacity, but I'm not very experienced with this stuff so I'm not sure if I am setting something wrong. I take it I am supposed to dynamically set the drive to get the correct size for it?
When setting the drive I do not know what to use for Starting reduced write cylinder, write precomp cylinder, max correctable error burst length, and CCB option byte.
When I do type in the settings does it go link this all on one line or do I hit enter after each one? ccc = 820 h = 6
these two links have jumper settings I did try two different settings but nothing changed on the hard drive size.

These drives are the ones I want to set up correctly. St-251, ST-125, ST-412, ST-4038, and Miniscribe 3438
These links don't show any info about those settings. For example on the ST-251
