If you have a IIGS, the simplest way to use a big hard drive would be to make a couple of ProDOS partitions (one to boot, the other for more space for any 8-bit apps you have) and set up the balance of the space as one big HFS partition. I have a 4.3GB Seagate Barracuda (just $20 from the local old-computer store, plus ~$10 for an 80-to-50-pin adapter) hooked to an Apple DMA SCSI card that's set up that way. The only consideration is that the drive doesn't spin up unless the computer's switched on, so you have to reboot after the drive is spun up (the sliding apple will appear while you wait). _/_ Scott Alfter / v \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] (IIGS( http://alfter.us Top-posting! \_^_/ pkill -9 /bin/laden >What is the most annoying thing on Usenet? -- Apple2list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Apple2list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/apple2.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/apple2list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
