I've done something further on this.

I'm setting my disks to 0B already, so that should
qualify as CHS.

But is it track or cylinder alignment that I need?

If I just multiply 63 * 8 then I should be 4k aligned,
and only waste about 256k - no big deal.

That's only track alignment though.

I'm doing some other tests currently (with respect to
gccwin as LX module rebuilding itself on PDOS/386) so
not yet ready to mess with that.

BFN. Paul.
