Strange.  I tested mkfs 1.4 with a ZIP drive, an old Apple 160Meg drive, 
and my NEC 1.6Gig drive.  Also used Apple, APS, Transoft, SuperSpot, 
RealTech and the old 3.01 a/ux disk formatters while testing.  That's how 
I found the off-by-one error in the Partition Map.  If you'd like to 
e-mail me privately with a description of what you're seeing maybe we can 
figure things out and get it fixed.
