   I have the disk from David Keil's site from a few years ago. It only has   
   drivers for the 5 and 15 MB drives. What I found that I could do was to use   
   the 15 MB driver for my 30MB drive. It worked fine for timing and all, and   
   the excess space was usable by LDOS.   
      
   When I tried to use the 5MB driver, the timings seemed to be off; I suspect   
   that the 5MB is on the slower side.   
      
   This trick might work for you as long as the driver expects the same or   
   fewer heads/cylinders that are in your hard drive. I'd bet the 5 MB driver   
   would work. IIRC, the 5MB Tandon TM-602 drive has 4 heads and 153 cylinders,   
   while the Tandon TM-603 has 6 heads and 230 cylinders. Of course, CP/M   
   would only be able to access 5MB.
