	HDToolBox is correct (or very close to).  Note that 105M is M=million,
not M=meg (1024*1024).  A fairly common thing in drive companies.  At least
they list it in formatted size: some manufacturers are renowned for using
unformatted figures, or include spare blocks/cylinders.

	1027704K (100Meg) = 105,168,896 bytes.
