This is true.  It will make as many 32 meg partitions as needed to use
the entire drive capacity.

OTOH, it is the least expensive new SCSI option available.  I was
ready to buy a ramfast SCSI, but couldn't justify spending (at the
time) $130 for a SCSI board for a computer I got for free.  The CMS
board is less than half that, and works just fine for my use.
