I must take exception to a previous statement in this thread.  That
statement being that Scandisk is not accurate above the 540 meg disk
size.  I have used it without any problem whatsoever on a 1.3 and 3.6
gig drive as well as a 540 meg.  No discernable difference.

May I ask what the gentleman referring to the Scandisk drawback is 
basing his answer on?  I would really like to know!

Thank you
Howard
