I'm currently running a Quantum 1.2 GB hard drive off of a RamFAST
(v3.01f ROM) with 10 partitions.  I have 9 32 MB ProDOS partitions and
1 780 MB HFS partition.  I have only use the HFS partition twice.
Once for temporary storage and another time because I was unpacking a
file that had filenames that weren't legal under ProDOS but worked
fine under HFS.
