I know that HFS hard disks, when formatted, adjust their cluster (*) sizes so that there are not more than 2^16 clusters in the partition: so, for instance, a 40Mb partition has 1K clusters, and a 500Mb partition has 8K clusters.
What is the largest size partition, and largest size hard disk, that can be used in a LC3 or LC475 running Mac OS 7.5.3? What difference does it make if I upgrade to Mac OS 8.1 and HFS+? (*) I know that "clusters" is the wrong term for Mac hard disks - the correct term has something to do with a whole lot of "B-trees" - but bear with me. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
