Paul.              I don't think 64K sector size would be in my life time. :)              My quick research tells me that 512 sector size was introduced in 1977. 4K       sector was introduced in 2010. So, it took 33 years, from 512 to 4K -       skipping 1K and 2K. Since technology is growing exponentially, the next leap       might be on 2025 or it may take another 30 years or so - on 2040. With 8K or       16K.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
