	Under some earlier versions of 2.0, it was 500Meg.  That's been
fixed since then, for the next release.  It should be 4 gig, it may be 2 gig
if someone blew a signed versus unsigned piece of math.  Got a >2gig drive
I can test it on?  2.02 and before (and A2091/A590) don't deal properly
with >1Gig scsi drives.  The next release should fix that (BTW, it turns
out both VMS and Ultrix had the same bug - you have to use 10-byte Reads
over 1 Gig in scsi.)
