Small clusters is the ONLY reason that I switched to DOS4.01. ANY size
hard disk has 2K clusters. I am running a Miniscribe w/ an Adaptec RLL
card which ends up being 108Meg, but still has 2K blocks all on drive C:
If you create a small partition, you can still have the 2K blocks.
I saved at least 4-5 Meg because of this cluster size, which is why I am
using DOS 4.01 instead of Compaq DOS 3.31 which also supports large
drives.
