   So, I am quite kontuzed.   
      
   So, we have a DBA-ESDI drive. FAIK, it is a Physical CHS device.   
      
   IBM defines it as Cylinders [Data, Spare, CE, Primary, Secondary, and   
   Factory Defect]. So, in some drives, there are 33 sectors in a track.   
      
   But... how many tracks in a cylinder?
