We are purchasing an Everex 386/25 machine with a 676 MB Micropolus hard 
disk. This will have an Esti interface.  We have a problem with formatting it
with MS-DOS 4.01.  Dos is only recognizing a maximum of 512 M. Does anyone know
how to solve this problem?

It was suggested that we switch to UNIX, but we have 4 other machines running
in DOS, plus various specialized applications.
