You'd have to go to 1024 MB to get 16 KB per cluster. I have a 540 MB drive on my 701C, which is divided into two partitions, the larger one being somewhat under 512 MB (to get the 4 KB cluster size). The smaller cluster size wastes less space for smaller files, as Paul has noted. Chris. -- Christian CAREY <ccarey@capaccess.org>
