Why, if what you say is correct, do all the programs I have show "sector
size" as whatever, and NOT "cluster" or "allocation unit" ???

I'm certain you're sure you're correct in what you say.  But I think
somehow the terminology has gotten twisted.  I'll eventually have a
FAT32 partition, and the software to work with it, so I'll find out
then... maybe
