Hi!

Sorry for the late response.

Hmm, you post a really good question. But I don't know the answer, I don't remember. :-(

I thought to remember that the reason was that the disk needs to be accessed in
order to find it out and I didn't want to do that. But I've just looked and saw that
for the dio_query_sectsize it needs to be accessed, too. So this couldn't be
the reason.

Maybe I didn't know of a good way to find out the number of sectors on disk?
Surely I don't know right now, I have to dig into it a bit again.

But the good news is, that after two years, where I lived in a very small place
with most of my computers put away in storage, my Ataris and friends are now at home again
and will be set up in the next weeks. I only need some more tables to put them on... :-)

regards,
chris
