Actually, I'd thought for a while that the limitation for both was the
same... can't remember where I picked that up from :/

Anyway, it at least prompted me to find out the real limitations...

Depending on which web page you read, the limits are something like 23
for DOS/Windows (it's an alphabet thing, ie 26 - 3), 63 for IDE drives
under Linux and 15 for SCSI drives under Linux.

Well now I've just stumbled on a RedHat support page that says the limit
is 16.

Does anyone know what the *real* limits are?
