- We are (finally) upgrading to 4.2a and I am trying to confirm some
- rumors concerning disk sizes. It is my understanding that 4.2 will
- recognize a rz57 as 1 gig and a rz58 as 1.3, but these numbers potentially
- double when going to 4.2a. Is this so? And how is it done? Are there more
- sectors, or more bytes per sector? BTW, this is on a DECsystem 5500.
