Re: Hard Drive Size

Thanks for the reply, Mark and William

Basically I have a 230 meg on a RamFast card.
First 3 partitions are 32 megs
Last partition is 138 megs (i think my memory is going).

I partitioned it with the RamFast utils.  Installed GS/OS. Installed/Copied
drivers, patched the drivers.  Even copied a RamFast SCSI driver that I
found into the directory.

In GS/OS when I go to init the HSF partition, it only gives me options for
31 meg with different interleaves.

Is the harddrive not compatiable with Apple OS?
