    I don't think that's a problem.  I've got a Quantum "105-meg" hard drive
as well, and it shows up as 100 megabytes + 120K or thereabouts.  I looked at
the spec sheet, and if you add up all the numbers, it comes out to just a hair
over 100 megabytes.  It's not even close to 105 megs.  I was using the
formatting software with the RAMFast, and I've got the same results as you.
