 MR> The reason I ask is because I have a 60MB FAT partition with 2048 byte
 MR> clusters, but according to my reasoning, it should have only 1024 byte
 MR> clusters.

I made a 32 meg C: partition with FDISK for my DOS/Win stuff thinking I
would get 1024 byte clusters, but ended up with 2048 byte clusters and
33.????? megs of diskspace.

I don't know the algorithm for calculating cluster size, but I think to get
1024 byte clusters the partition must be less than 32 megs.

I've since converted to all HPFS.
