Mine has only ever had one partition with no Windows PC software on it
since I purchased it several years ago.  I have only recently decided
to format it for RISC OS using !SCSIForm 2.55 on the Iyonix as I need
to transfer stuff to another Iyonix on a different site.  The RISC OS
free space window shows it as a 123MB drive OK and I have only filled
6MB of it.  The problem is that I can't get any more than 45 files in
any of the directories I create on it.

All for now.
