Thanks, Paul.

I'll study it and see if there is any sense to it.
I know that there are some CF cards and/or CF=>IDE
adapters that work with CHS, and utilize different
numbers of logical heads. Would be nice if the number
of heads is all that is holding us back from using CF
cards with the Vulcan. That may be an easy fix.
