I initialized my SE's internal 20 Meg SCSI drive with HD SC Setup
version 1.3.  Everything was successful, but I noticed that my
disk had 19,171K available while other SE's I have seen have
19,868K.  I called my dealer and they said that the amount of space
on my disk was normal and that the reason I have seen the other figure
is that there are two types of drive.  Is this true or am I being
cheated of storage space?  If true, why is there such a difference
(do some drives have less physical space, or do they have the same 
amount of space and are configured differently?)

Thanks for any enlightenment. . .
