Should I setup 2 partitions for OS9, 1 for 9.2 and 1 for 9.1?
Does it matter what partitions I use for the mac OSs? I also plan on
installing VPC someday. How much space will that require and does it matter
which partition that goes on? I understand that some drive utilities work
better than others with OSX. I have Apple drive-setup of course,
Silverlining Pro 6.2.1 and Anubis 3.5.3 that I know of.
Thanks for your help Steve
