I have a 350 meg hard drive on my GS and it works fine.  Basically you
can go as large as you want.  It all may not be accessible under Prodos
but under GSOS you should be able to access it all.  I have nine 32 meg
prodos partitions and a 40 meg HFS partition.  The HFS partition is only
accessible from GSOS so that's where I keep all my GS specific stuff.
You can make that HFS partition as large as you want.  I'm planning to
get an even larger hard drive and plan on an HFS partition size of around
200 megs.
