Indeed it does. Thanks.

Gone are the days when One could walk into a customer's premises, suck One's teeth, and say in hushed tones. "Oh dear, you need a low level format. That'll cost you a squillion quid."

The first IDE drives were so unreliable, that with some makes, I used to linear formant them. Lost a lot of data space, but hey, we had 60...or even 80 Mb to play with.
