With version 2.0 and later of the PC Transporter software, you can set
up two hard drives, and each file can also use two files, each of
which can be up to 16 megabytes.  The maximum hard drive space is
therefore 64 megabytes, using two 32 megabyte drives (C: and D:,
assuming you have the PCT confiugured for one or two floppy drives).

The hard drive image files can be on different ProDOS volumes (e.g.
you could set up two 32 megabyte ProDOS-8 partitions on a large hard
drive, each of which contained two 16 megabyte hard drive image files
for the PC Transporter).

There isn't much point in partitioning the hard drive image to
anything smaller than 32 megabytes, which is the maximum size supported
by MS-DOS 3.3 and earlier.  You can't set up a hard drive larger than
this anyway.
