    Ah, yes- so they DID get around to putting a meaning with the
bytes.  When I last remembered hearing something about it, it was much
more terse and less helpful.

    And sure; if I had a newer drive (and I hope to, in a couple of
days) surely it'll have more to say about it, aye?  :)

    Thanks for the heads-up!
