   I've just bought a CMS SD60, and so far I have no problems. However,
I have a few questions:

1. I remembered a few people mentioned that it comes preformatted with 1-3
   interleaf. However, mine came preformatted with 1-5 interleaf, and the
   default (which according to the manual is the optimal) interleaf is 1-5
   for both Plus and SE, and 1-3 for MacII. Is the software that came with
   my hard disk an older version? It seems that its version is v3.2m, is
   this an old version?
     
2. The formatted capacity of SD60 is supposedly 62.40MB. Using "Show Volume
   Data" option, the total physical blocks is shown to be 126784. Now, 
   62.40MB == 62.40 * 1024 * 2 == 127995 blocks. What happens to the other
   1011 blocks (about 505 KB--which is quite large)?

3. The manual mentioned that there are 8 dip switches. However, it seems
   that I can't found those dip switches on the backside of the cabinet.
   Instead, there are three jumpers (they look like jumper to me) near the
   fan. Are those, which seem like jumper to me, the dip switches mentioned
   in the manual?

   
   Thanks in advance.
