 I just bought a MegaFile 30 for my 1040ST and decided to try to
 get PC-DITTO II to recognize the hard drive. Everthing seems to
 come up fine until I do a DIR command on partion C: which gives me
 the error message "capacity overflow during division,"(DOS 3.2).
 I have no idea what this means or how to correct it. I am
 booting the system from floppy with only the PC-DITTO program in
 the autofolder and an autotime.prg to read the clock that I have in
 the cartridge port. I have the config.sys file set up as suggested in
 the manual and have reproduced it below.

 device=pc_dhd.sys
 buffers=16
 device=driver.sys /D:0/T:80
 device=driver.sys /D:1/T:40 (for my 5.25 drive)


 When the system comes up it does says 3 partitions which is
 correct I have my drive divided into 3 of 10 meg each. I also see
 the message that pc_dhd.sys has been installed. My drive was
 formatted with the program that came on the disk with my hard
 drive. From the PC-DITTO manual I understand that I do not have to
 reformat it under DOS.

 Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or the source of the
 problem. Many thanks.
