> >I dont know why you would partition a 40gb hard drive into 8gb chunks. > Have been following this thread with a view to doing something similar on our hugely upgraded pet 5300C - so today I partitioned the drive and installed OS 8.5 on one 1.5gb partition and OS 9 on one 2gb partition, leaving the spare 3.5gb on a spare partition - I know it sounds stupid but OS 9.0 definitely seems MUCH faster than when it was the sole OS on the 6 GB drive , and it gives access to some programmes that work on OS 8.5 but need a different version for OS.9 and vice versa
Maybe its a trend? Am seriously thinking of putting Real PC on the surplus partition to get the best of all worlds. (Note of caution - we think anyone else attempting this may need the maximum 60mb RAM that we have on this machine) Gerald Jennings -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
