- My Morley SCSI uses 7K directories when I format using SCSIForm with 512 byte
- blocks, as does my ADFS controlled IDE hard drive with the default format.
-
- I suggest that you contact Morley for an explaination and/or an updated
- SCSIForm.

- On the subject of directory size, why does FileCore always return a 2K
- directory size, regardless of the dircetory's actual size? Surely something
- could be done to fix this, as it makes writing software to find the true
- space saving when archiving difficult to write.
