I'm trying to partition a rather large SCSI drive (1.2 gig) for use on a
IIGS.  I think I've done it before, but can't seem to remember how I did it.

I'd like to set up about four Prodos Partitions and have the rest be a
large HFS partition.

I've tried using Advance Disk Utilities.  It seems to accept the
commands, but when I click on "Partition", it comes back "failed".  I'm
guessing it is because the drive is too large.

I've tried fiddling around with my Ramfast, but of course it doesn't
understand anything about HFS.

I've looked at UtilityWorks and at ProSel 16, but don't find anything there.

I've connected it to a High Speed SCSI and tried Apple's utilities; they
will set up four ProDos partitions but leave the rest of the drive blank.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Rob!  I've got it solved.
I was trying to do it on my main system, which has five hard drives and a Zip drive attached to it as well as a RamFast. That may have been the problem.
I found a spare hard drive which had System 6 and ADU on it, attached it and the subject hard drive to a separate IIGS (using an Apple High Speed). From the spare HD I launched ADU and from there it was easy-peasy. Followed the menu and within a couple of minutes I had the new drive completely partitioned. Loaded Sys 6.0.1 and re-booted just fine from the new drive.
