   In CiderPress, creating a 32MB volume (labeled "largest ProDOS volume")   
   creates a 65535-block file, because that's the ProDOS limit.  Partition   
   managers will likely round up to the nearest megabyte, allocating space for   
   65536 blocks.  I figured it's    
   safer to copy a 65535-block volume into a 65536-block space than the other way   
   around, so went with the smaller size.   
      
   You can create a 65536-block volume in CiderPress by entering the size   
   manually.
