Thanks, good to know.
So it looks like GPT and RDSK can coexist on the same disk: an RDSK header
in block 0 (pointing to PART blocks located after the GPT), and GPT in
blocks 1-33.
That means for very large disks, you can have an RDSK describing the
partitions that fit in the first part of the disk that can be accessed by
e.g. AmigaOS 3.0, and a GPT that describes all partitions on the disk,
right?
