- That's probably the explanation. I'm using a RamFAST now, but I
- started with an Apple DMA SCSI card, and the drive was partitioned
- with that card's software. Can't remember if I could've gotten more
- precise settings...the two partition sizes are 41935 (boot partition)
- and 39887, which comes out to 81822 blocks--about 39.95 megabytes.
