Ooooooh bad news, bud.
The UNIXpc chops your huge hard disk capacity down in FOUR ways:
1. Soft sector format, sector headers & gaps created by the WD1010-05
2. The 17th sectors of EVERY track is NOT USED, except as spares, created by
   the hard disk driver.
3. Swap space for UNIX (3-5 meg), created by the installation process you.
4. Room to support a news feed to get info on why your hard disk won't hold
   as much as you thought when you forked out all that modey, of course created
   by YOU! :)
