Help !! I have a Minscribe 3570 Hard Drive (supposedly 40 meg), that
I'm trying to format properly for my b2000. I've tried various combinations
of surfaces, cylinders, etc, getting anywhere from 27 - 35 meg as a
result. If anybody knows the "proper" parameters, I'd be much obliged.

On another note, I'd like to ask a question that was probably hashed over
weeks (months ?) ago on this net. Are there any differences in Kickstart
1.2 vs 1.3 OTHER than auto-booting from a HD or RAD ? I have a 2090
controller so it's probably not worth it for me if those are the only
differences.  The only thing I worried about is perhaps "subtle" changes
(bug fixes, etc) that may have gone into 1.3 that don't effect me now
but will in the future if I don't upgrade....

Thanx in advance.
