The MS-DOS on the Tandy T2K will only support up to about 33 MEG hard
drives.  The problem is MS-DOS.  If you try to fully format a 35 meg
unit, it can logically 'wrap around' and overwrite itself.  Just take
65536/(#heads)/17 to get the maximum number of cylinders you can
safely use.  (round DOWN!!)
