Setup for drives that comply with ANSI specifications. The ENTER key is used to

invoke this function.

Existing (formatted) disks must be set up using the same parameters that were used

originally when the disk was formatted. The specific cylinder, head, sector

information as listed on the label attached to the drive at the factory must be
