    Partitions under the ProDOS file system are still limited to 32
megabytes each, but ProDOS 8 itself can now address up to 14 online
devices.  I think the Apple High-Speed SCSI card can address any number
of partitions, but the RamFAST SCSI is limited to 12.  That gives you a
total of 384 megs under ProDOS.  If you use GS/OS, you may choose to
format a partition as an HFS volume.  HFS can handle up to a 2-gigabyte
partition.
