I couldn't tell if > you were talking about NeXT or MacOS. Well, I used to run a NeXT with NeXT's OS, and its disk was indeed set up with 1024-byte sectors. I also have a Mac IIci. I don't know what it may do by default, but it's certainly content to run with 512-byte sectors; my NetBSD/mac68k install boots to MacOS first, then runs a small booter program that starts NetBSD. Both MacOS and NetBSD use the same disk, and it's got 512-byte sectors. (What memory I have of what MacOS version it uses is very fuzzy, but that memory says it's System 7.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
