Anybody want to take a stab at this question? According to a note
from NeXT the 400 meg version containing Release 2.0 Extended has
180 megs of freespace and the 660 meg version has 405 megs free.
Inotherwords Release 2.0 Extended takes up 220 megs on the 400 meg
disk and it occupies 255 meg on the 660 meg disk. Can anyone
explain what the difference is? Thanks! - Ross

My new cube has a nominal 660MB disk, but the Info panel reports total capacity as 633MB. I was thinking of the 400 if I get a 'station for home. <> There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe <> everything or to doubt everything.
