Thanks Andries,

    After looking through these many many many different types of
partitions.......Maybe it's best if the BIOS folks just continue to support
just the one we do now rather then open that can marked "WORMS".  I wondered
why Curtis was so quiet on this one.  Anyway, I think I still investigate on
the side.
