When formatting a new hard-disk I found that FORMAT creates clusters
of 8 sectors = 4K byte if the disk is somewhat smaller than 16 MB, and
clusters of 2KB, if the disk is larger.

I did not find any information about this in my literature. So,
can somebody explain if this is correct and what's the reason
behind it.
