	I don't know about networked drives... I know the maximum number of
SCSI devices per card is 7. The number of partitions per drive is (I
think) a function of the SCSI card. I'm not sure about this, but I think
ProDOS 8 can only display two partitions per drive. I do seem to
remember my machine possibly accessing four partitions though.
