Ralf.brown. is right, I think, about 150 MB being NON-MFM. What I had in mind was the person continuing to use his MFM controller (worth, say $100+) and present MFM drive. So, adding the 80 meg as second drive, you'd have a total of 150+ MB to play with, but a shortage of physical space in a regular AT case. Still, having 6 partitions of 32,32,16,32,32,16 is nothing to sneeze at.
