The problem with this is that Apple's HDSC Setup does _not_ work with a vast
majority of hard drives.  I have been playing with partitioning schemes on 
and off for a while now, and have not had any success in getting the ProDOS
File System to recognize a 32mb (or less) hard partition on any of these
drives: CMS Quantum 80, Rodime 140, Seagate 225N, Wren IV 296...  I'm using
a standard "new" partition map, and MicroNet drivers since Apple HDSC won't
even try to work on non-Apple drives... BTW, These drives all work great on
the GS which in my estimation has a superior SCSI interface and is far more
generalized than the 'tush in OS access... even HFS stuff formatted on the
Mac is recognized cleanly on the GS :)

There are two ways to write bug-free code and only the third one works!
