Michael,

    It seems confusing.  Maybe formula should be better like this.

    1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 64 = 68,719,476,736 bytes

    68,719,476,736 bytes / 512 bytes / 65,536 blocks = 2,048 32MB partitions

    I remember back time -- you have said enhanced ProDOS supports > 4GB is 
considered non-ProDOS!!
