Don't forget that if you're using DOS, Windows 3.11, or OS/2 that you'll
need to use a software package like EZ Drive or Disk Manager on drives that
are larger than 528MB (1024 cylinders). Otherwise, FDISK will give you
a shocking disk drive capacity measure ("14MB" on a 540MB drive, etc.),
and won't allow you to partition the drive properly. Most new 2.5" drives
are now above 540MB. For more info on EZ Drive, you can visit Micro-House's
web pages at http://www.microhouse.com/, or see our pages at http://warrior.com/ezdrive.
