RiscOS has a bug which relates to ADFS partions of greater than 2GB on 
IDE disks. The workround acornding to ART is to set ADFSBuffers to 0.
I saw this in comp.sys.acorn.announce just before buying the 3.2GB drive 
which was around October/November last year. A news archive should still 
have this article.

I don't know if SCSI drives have similar problems.
