I remember Jan Maes telling me that you could have more than 14 partitions,
110 max. but they were the sum of several scsi devices. I don't recall how
that worked...

Second, wasn't it so that with a RamFast you could create as many partitions
as you wanted, GS/OS partitions, and then remap them to use with Prodos or
GS/OS? I mean, 14 drives max at a time.

Since I'm going to buy a larger hard disk for my BBS and Magazine, I'm
interested in this (possible) option, e.g. for making backups of the other
partitions. From what I have heard about HFS, I think I'm not going to use HFS
partitions :-)
