i was a bit suprised to see that appleworks could still see my
network (mac) harddrive after i had launched it from gsos. but
a bunch of my local, gs partitions had vanished. only 9? volumes
were visible in appleworks (v3) 
fascinating. does that mean that prodos 8 could have seen the
mac harddrive also? i'm gonna have to experiment a bit.
