Seagate ST325082
246167 Cylinders
64 Heads
31 Blocks per Track
1984 Blocks per Cylinder

The partitions look line in amiga-fdisk, only that hdtoolbox can not handle
large partitions, so the sizes show up negative and it is not very easy to
edit the partition sizes in hdtoolbox. That is about all that I can tell
you, since I am not hosting the machines anymore. And nobody is going to
boot AmigaOS on them anytime soon.
