There are 8 bits in a byte
Was there a point to this?

I didn't bother to do the math but it seemed the figures quoted could be for one in Megabytes and the other in Megabits which might account for the amount used being reported as bigger than the amount available.
Oh. In sum, I did Finder -> Get Info on 3 drives, and got
Using finder->get info: Macintosh HD 288.2MB on disk (302,255,104 bytes used) (CF drive) 187.8MB on disk (196,943,872 bytes used) (floppy) 1.2MB on disk (1,288,704 bytes used)
The HD is an original 525MB drive; the CF is a 256MB card; the floppy is a standard 1.45MB disk.
If it had been a bits vs bytes issue, there would be an 8X difference. Since there's only a 5% or so issue, I don't know what the differences mean, and haven't found any enlightenment in Apple or the web yet.

_____________ ASP in OS 9 doesn't report it like that. So I don't know what'd happening.
I assume your HD is a sub 500 MB. I guesss the difference is in the math of the ASP for your OS. Or maybe there is some discrepency caused by headers or fragmentation..
