I am not sure that I have the right Identifier? I have 0x554E4901. That
is what the Identifier is in the Update file window.

I never did see the SFS/01 or SFS/00 etc. Just the UNI\01, yet the SFS
file is in the Add/Update window. I have the following:
Identitier Version Size File System Name
0x554E4901 1.84 60456 L:SmartFilesystem [UNIX File System 1]
0x444f5303 45.1 26124 L:FastFileSystem [International (FFS)]
So, I do have the 0x554E4901 Identitier and the UNI\01. It is working, but
I have not seen any increase in speed?
