FWIW, a 200 GB (trade size) capacity drive will be seen as a 186 GB (net) capacity drive. 149/160 = 93.13 percent and 186/200 = 93.00 percent, so everything seems right to me. I have up to 250 GB drives on my Beige. And, 300 GB, 7200 rpm, *sixteen MB* cache drives have just become available. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
