	You must have a strange controller. I have several ST4096's. They all
do not require anything like Disk Manager. Most are on DTC MFM controllers.
DOS 4.01 FDISK partitions it fine.
	But from what I remember about Disk Manager, it does allow multiple
DOS partitions without any problem as well. Perhaps you are allocating the
whole disk as one big 80Mb partition. Make the primary DOS partition 32Mb.
Only one DOS partition can be "active". This just means bootable. The other
DOS partitions are accessible for data, files, etc.
