Paul, Is your drive a 40 meg? If so then there must be something wrong with one of your settings. 807 cyl x 4 heads x 17 blocks per track x 488 bytes per block gives 25.5 megs of storage and not 40. Maybe you should set your blocks per track to 25 and reformat. If that works then you would get around 37 megs, almost right. Or if you format it with 6 sufraces, you would get exactly 40 megs. If your drive is actually a 25 meg then disregard the previous stuff. Khalid. P.S. About my 2 A2000s; I got them a the PC World show in London, U.K. They were quite in abundance there, and at quite good prices.
