It can't hurt to run this information through again.  It's bound to be more
useful than talking about a 68030 Amiga -- I said talking, not having :-)
The new ROMs, in any Mac, minus, zero, or plus, will only format a disk as MFS
with an older System/Finder vintage (2/4 era.)  The 4K is "BTree" (directory)
space.  The 9K is the switch from K=1000 to K=1024.

Perhaps someone else knows about Switcher "running out of memory" on "upgraded"
512K Macs.  Does "upgrade" mean an old Mac with the ROM/800K drive, or 512E,
or both?  (I know, the answer is yes.)
