	What block or two can I nuke on my hard drive so that BOTH
GS/OS and ProDOS 8 don't recognize the drive at ALL?

	I have nuked a few blocks on it before and I can get ProDOS 8 to 
not recognize it, but GS/OS automagically recognizes it.. (DAMMIT!)

	I want the Advanced Disk Utility to reformat my hard drive with 2:1, 
but it won't let me since it's already been formatted.. I was told that 
the 8 bit DMA utilities probably formatted it with 9:1, and
that's why it takes me about 40 seconds (!!!) to boot an almost virgin
Finder. 

	I should be working on my C++ and data compression programs so
I gotta jam.
