This is a 41 Mbyte drive. However, the install program claims that there are only 37.4 Mbytes available. Apparently, it has decided that the ST351A/X only has 716 cylinders on it, but it actually has 820. Does anyone know if it's possible to change this somehow? If not, I recommend that the data for this particular drive be corrected in future releases. --Bill Paul Assitant System Administrator New Windsor Associates L.P. ghod@drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu -or- ghod@drycas.bitnet
