That sounds like the numbers that used to be thrown around. But over in Mac
land everyone says that there's a 2 gb size limit on HFS volumes. So is there
a file system that can go to 4 gb? High Sierra maybe? There is talk  that HFS
will handle 4 gb volumes when Mac system 7.5 is out. Wonder if that will cause
problems with HFS under GS/OS.

As far as volumes go, the partitioning setup limits each device to seven 
volumes if I remember right. Right?
