Indeed. Here is an 18GB IBM disk working quite happily in my VS4K90.
I've had a 73GB Atlas SCSI disk in there for a while but it was just too
noisy.

(I'm running OpenVMS; I'm assuming NetBSD has no issue with a disk
that, by today's standards, is a mite small!)

As far as I know, this is just a size reporting bug.
