Subject: Maximum CP/M volume size

I'm not sure there is a maximum *volume* size.  The maximum file size
is 8MB, or 0xfff (largest available number) x 128 (sector size) bytes.
A larger file couldn't be accessed randomly, since you'd run out of
sector numbers.  

I don't know if there's any reason you can't have a volume bigger than
the largest possible file, but if you do the maths you may find, given
a reasonable allocation block size, that you run out of space in, say,
the disk map around the maximum file size.

Good luck - Will
