I'd have to admit I hadn't tried that.  I'd figured that I wasn't going to be
able to load GS/OS after Prodos.  I will try it out though and see what happens

Actually it is 2 drives, a 20meg and a 44 Syquest, technically, they are being
used seperately.  I have the GS on SCSI id7, the ][e on id6,  and the Hd's on 0
and 4  respectively.  It all runs quite happily both machines fired up at the
same time, provided they don't start accessing the drives at the same time.

My biggest problem is only being able to see the first partition on the
removable with Prodos, no matter what I do.  SCSIpart doesn't work, the rev c
manual says put the card in slot 5, use prodos 1.2, it'll remap the partitions
to slot 2, but I suspect all these things work ONLY on the first drive not the
second. :(
