   I believe this is historical at this point.

True; the system that does this uses an old fdisk.  However, the
attitude behind such warnings lives on: the 1.3.70 kernel warns about
P5s with the FDIV bug.  ;-) Don't buy from "Ado Denshi", they lied and
said they didn't sell any of those.  Didn't want to deal with the
return, I guess.

   (I just recently installed on a 1.6 GB (3148 cylinder) drive. <Y31,000
   in Akihabara.  Sure fills up quickly.  :-)

You betcha.  :-)  I hear Ted is giving away drives, though.  Must be
rich, that guy ;-)

Seriously, how fast?  SCSI or EIDE?  That's a good price.
