Gene,

As Chester indicated, it has also been my experience, though I don't recall these utilities specifically, ALL B&B utilities assume a cluster size of 1.

So if you formatted larger than ~127MB partition, then I advise you NOT to use them.

That is why all distributions from Cloud-9 have a cluster size of 1. Plus 127MB is HUGE!!!!

Regards,

Mark

Greetings;

For the old hands here who might have a B&B hard drive interface, can 
anyone tell me if these commands are compatible with drive formats where 
each cluster represents some power of 2 worth of sectors?

Cheers, Gene
