I think when you install the OS on the (internal) 160 GB, it will see
only a 128 GB drive; on formatting, you can choose to install Sys 9
support; if you don’t, you’ll still be able to use Classic.

I typically partition my 160 GB drives into four below-the-line partitions and one 25 GB above-the-line partition.

Whether GB or GiB or whatever, the limit is 131,072 megabytes, period.

In the older initializers, the space was allocated in megabytes, in the current initializers, the space is allocated in gigabytes and tenths and hundredths of gigabytes.
