But that is where it all falls over, Bill.  You will have used the maximum 
amount of a single drive that os9 can address. That $FFFFFF I quoted is 
all the drive, in sectors, that os9 can reach, you are out of addressing 
bits and cannot stack any more on top of it as it will just roll over to 
zero and start all over again. Thats not pretty.  At. All.
