	The 8-bit bus has nothing to do with the size of the hard disc.
	I have a XT (clone:-) equipped with ST-277R disc, which gives
	63 MB formatted capacity. The disc is partitioned with Disk
	Manager, which works happily.. DOS 3.2 does not support over
	32 MB discs, so Disk Manager was a must. DOS 3.3 can use discs
	over 32 MB in size, but not over 32 MB in one partition. If
	you wish to use bigger partitions, you need DOS 4.01.
