This format.dat entry doesn't use all the sectors the disk has, that's why
you only get 160MB or so. If you use
disk_type = "Maxtor LXT-200S" \
: ctlr = MD21 : fmt_time = 5 \
: trks_zone = 1 : atrks = 0 : asect = 1 \
: ncyl = 998 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 1314 \
: nhead = 7 : nsect = 56 \
: rpm = 3600 : bpt = 33920
You get around 195MB. That's the entry we use. It yields a total of
391,216 sectors.
