Well, understanding it or not, I think you have answered it. Thanks.

No, that is certainly not what I intended to suggest. I don't think you can even
install eCS without it. BM takes up a miniscule space, and claims no Drive
Letter, so no reason not to have it there early on the drive.

You would think so, but, as I mentioned, it totally refused to install ECS 1.0 to
Drive L (beyond 10G., and apparently some cylinder boundary) on my present system.
That may involve some BIOS or hardware-specific issues.

This suggests I should have no problem, but I've been wrong on that score
before. I can't see how the SCSI h/w I use should make any difference here.

More support for YMMV factors at work.
