Actually, if you look around, we discussed this: the quick answer is that the last partition of 26.x meg is correct. Seems that th difference is the reserve blocks the CF puts aside to use when it has to realocate blocks. I think the "white paper" that Rich has a link to discusses this. (and you're also correct in the fact that the size of the CF isn't quite 128meg :))
What you've got is exactly the sizes that we've all gotten--so rest assured that your system is working properly. (For myself, all told, I still have more storage space avalable to me on my //e now than when I was running my ZipDisk 100, so I'm a happy camper. The CFFA is an amazing little device. As a side note, even tho there's no DMA on the card, with my ZipChip 8 and slot 7 set to "fast," I'm getting much better throughput than I was getting before so it feels like I have a faster system! :) )
