	I've been hearing people getting satisfactory results with FFS using
a 32K setting for MaxTransfer.  Unfortunately the driver for my hard disk
will only permit a MaxTranser of 512K bytes.  As far as I can tell FFS with
this setting seemed just a slow as AmigaDos format.  Would this limitation
on MaxTransfer be the cause of an FFS that offers no speed improvement? or
is it something else.
	Anyway why exactly would a driver have problems if MaxTransfer was
set too high?
