My Cirtech SCSI card has a unique way of allowing the use of ProDOS,
DOS3.3, Pascal 1.3 and CP/M all on the one SCSI hard drive. It allows
contigous regions of a partition to be excised from the ProDOS file
system and the SCSI card is told to use just that region (by
appropriate values for begining and end stored in screen holes). Then
you install the O/S of your choice in that area. In the ProDOS area you
have a small application that enables the sub partition and boots it.
If anyone is interested I will dig out the manuals and disks and
describe it more fully. Perhaps the CFFA firmware could be modified to
support this scheme.
