How did you notice this?
 
This is with reference to as follows:
>imdisk -help
..
..
-o option
cd      Creates a virtual CD-ROM/DVD-ROM. This is the default if the
file
        name specified with the -f option ends with either .iso, .nrg or
.bin
        extensions.
 
fd      Creates a virtual floppy disk. This is the default if the size
of the
        virtual disk is any of 160K, 180K, 320K, 360K, 640K, 720K, 820K,
1200K,
        1440K, 1680K, 1722K, 2880K, 123264K or 234752K.
 
hd      Creates a virtual fixed disk partition. This is the default
unless
        file extension or size match the criterias for defaulting to the
cd or
        fd options.
 
Proceeded further as follows;
 As a trial, for 50mb HD,
50000000/512=>97657 counts
