Dear Fujitsu Netters,

  I just got my Fuji M2263SA drive (guess where :-) and I have a concern.
  According to the post in which installation instructions are given, the
  drive should show up on the workspace as having 632MB of storage when
  formatted with 512 byte sectors.  When I attached mine, it showed up as
  having 576MB of storage.  Now, the 632MB number seems right to me:

  778 MillionBytes * .85 (overhead) * .95 (million to mega) ~= 628 MegaBytes

  Can anyone tell me what is up?  Is there a problem with my drive, or is
  there a problem with this figure?  Since I leave for home on Monday, a
  prompt email response would be MOST appreciated.  Thank you.
