But how many bits is it? The 8-bits-to-a-byte thing isn't really an established standard, it's just been used so long as to be assumed ;) I wouldn't put it past some marketing company somewhere to advertise drive sizes in different byte sizes just to confuse things. Some stuff used 4 and 6 bit bytes in the early days, IIRC. Scott -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
