To quote Jerry, show me the money?

For example, https://www.ebay.com/itm/225315397038

The label of this drive gives us CHS figures for three different models:

           cyl * h  * s  *  B
  127MB =  919 * 16 * 17 * 512 = 127,983,616B (124MiB)
  170MB = 1011 * 15 * 22 * 512 = 170,818,560B (162MiB)
  340MB = 1011 * 15 * 44 * 512 = 341,637,120B (325MiB)
So we're at 127MB and they're already base10.

For some reason everyone remembers it, but no-one's been able to show me.
