Okay, sorry i missed that.  That does seem like the more correct way to do
it, at least as for as the floppy size goes.  But i still don't see why
ARP's info said my harddisk was 30M.  I neglected to mention before that my
harddisk is one partition, FFS.  AmigaDos info tells me that it is 63M, with
512 bytes per block.  It certainly should be, using either 'info'.
