- The APS and Disk Doctor software might not have recognized your IDE drive
- (I am assuming its IDE). I wonder if Apple's IDE drive formatter might
- have better luck? Still, this offers little advantage at this point. If
- ARDI get us the "DROP" (drop in Mac OS) then you will be able to use DOS
- partitions indiscriminately. MAC OS takes care of preserving long file
