If I read user responses correctly, they are partitioned as enough
32MB ProDOS partitions to fill up the drive unless you tell them
you want HFS ones.

I'd delete most of the partitions except four and resize the last
two, reformatting them HFS.  That's the setup I have on my 1GB
drive.  Two 32MB ProDOS partitions and two large HFS ones.
All my IIGS stuff is on HFS partitions.  ProDOS 8 stuff and the
GS/OS System Software occupy the ProDOS partitions.

Backup all the software first, of course.

I think the four major ones are listed (the Marinetti TCP/IP desk
accessory, etc.), but there are lots of other misc. shareware
and freeware.
