I was wrong.. so very wrong.  Chris looked through the code tonight, and did  
indeed find that if you have an ADOS partition that != 512 byte blocks, it  
will not mount it properly.  This will most likely not make it into the 1.0  
release either.  The good part is that it doesn't affect most people, the bad  
part is that those who are affected have no solution.

It is hard to acheive, which is why it probably won't make it in the release  
:-(.
