Well, my post was just a joke because the post seemed inappropriate
for this newsgroup.

I realize that the IIgs can handle those drives using HFS, but 8 bit
Apple II users are stuck with ProDOS 8 and can only have a maximum of
14 active ProDOS partitions.  Using a RamFAST, they could make use of
all 32 partitions on a 1.0 GB drive by enabling/disabling different
partitions but that is a bit of a pain.

I'm not sure how many partitions that RamFAST can actually handle,
come to think of it.  I know that the Apple High Speed SCSI card can
handle up to 127 or something, but has no way to disable certain
partitions so that you can use the ones you want like the RamFAST
does.
