This doesn't sound right -- there must be something else using up most of that
memory.  You don't say which 80 Meg Seagate and what machine (I have an
80 Meg SCSI on a PC and an 80 Meg standard drive on an AT) and the OnTrack
drivers don't use nearly that much.  I did replace the OnTrack driver on
the AT with the OnTrack Superproms which eliminate the driver, allow full
use of the entire drive capacity, and work under OS/2 -- your friend might
want to consider adding these if he has an AT type machine.
