I was wondering if the 1024 limit of cylinders allowed by MSDOS was hard
coded?  Or, is there anything I can do about it?  I am using IBM dos 3.30;
and my disk has 1224 cylinders.  It gets the number of heads right.  My
drive is type 26.  This has not been a problem before because I have Xenix
on the last 700 cylinders or so.  I would like to runthe utility
"interleave Adjustment Utility" to improve my data transfer rate without
removing all my data.  I just got a new dtc rll 1:1 controller.

Thanks
