Michel 'Mikki' Waucomont rcbamw@eutr3.urc.tue.nl asks (paraphrased)
"How do I use the pre-allocated A/UX space on my Apple HS-40SC?"

Well, I'm posting this off the top of my head, so the specifics may not be
totally here, but anyone should be able to fill in the blanks. Basically, you
need to:

1. reformat the drive.
2. click "partition".
3. delete the existing Macintosh partition, as well as the A/UX one, if there
   is such a beast [the last time I did this was about 4 months ago, so I'm a
   bit fuzzy...:-) )
4. create a new partition of "Macintosh Volume" type, and, by dragging, make
   it as big as possible.

On my Apple HD-20SC, this added about 900K to the capacity of the drive.  I
would expect that an HD-40SC would realize a greater increase, but I would
doubt that it would be a dramatic improvement (still, 900K is 900K...)

Of course, if you are captured or killed, the Secretary will disavow any
knowledge of your actions.  Your mileage may vary.  Some assembly required.

In other words, don't blame me if you reformat your drive and only gain 32K.
