Applicable to: World-Wide
The "540 to 528" patch that changes the capacity of a 540MB hardfile to 528MB for applications that cannot access hardfiles greater than 1024 cylinders, does not work on the 540MB IBM brand hardfile, P/N 06H7141 FRU NO 82G5928. The IBM brand hardfile, which can be identified by the following markings on the drive label, has a jumper on the file control card that is moved to convert the drive from 540MB to 528MB:
