  What drive letter would you use to call on it?                        
  What is the advantage to having more or less bytes in each sector?    
  Is there any disadvantage (or limit) to setting ENTRIES to some        
absurdly high number just so you wont have to worry about exceeding the   
limit?  
  Is there a way to put it in any memory above 1k (say if you have 2 meg
of memory on board)?
  Thanks.
