[ WD story on cylinder limit ]
 
Wow, so when 10 bits wasn't enough WD gave us one whole extra bit. How
generous and visionary!
 
Maybe I can't fully grasp the technical details but is it too dificult
or expensive to use 16 bits?
 
Or maybe I'm just beeing to optimistic. When 11 bits ain't enough
anymore, WD can sell us a brand new controller with an entirely new,
flashing, hot 12th bit!
 
I guess this is the way it was, is, and will be, causing users a lot
of headaches.
