I just got FOCUS drive - help with partitioning!
I just received my FOCUS IIgs drive (540MB) from Alltech.
Booted it up and found ProDOS 8 and Copy II+ 8.3 on the drive -- and
nothing else. (Way to go Alltech!) After taping up the half-ripped-off
label that that says "Removing this seal voids warranty" (the one that
normally conceals that hole into the drive), I feel it's time to get to
work installing GS/OS.
Now...there's 17 ProDOS partitions there now. I've been told a good
idea is to leave 5-6 of them and then make the rest HFS. But there's
bugs in the FST apparently for HFS which can be remedied by a patch that
I'll search for. But in general -- after doing this. What will and
won't work on that HFS partition. That is -- will most GS/OS friendly
apps run on that partition?? What should be my rule of thumb in
deciding where to put what app?
Thanks!
