ABSTRACT:
A computer system in which the system software (while running as an overhead process which is not directly under control of the user) queries a disk drive to determine its model. The system software checks the corresponding response string with reference to a table of recognized model strings (in encrypted format). If the drive's response string is recognized in this table, then the drive parameters can be set appropriately. If not, then this portion of the system software will not set the drive parameters; instead, the normal manual setup procedure can be used.
