Hmm ... thats a point, I don't recall that ever being discussed. I'd 
*guess* that the overlay would mean this issue wouldn't exist as one would 
imagine the disk routines that Toshiba modified to restrict the visible 
size to 1.6GB would be the same routines that the drive overlay would 
replace ...

Of course, I've not confirmed this. IIRC though only the later batch of 
L70's would have this issue ...
