ProDOS Plus revisited

[supertimer@aol.com (Supertimer)]

Ok, so the HFS FST on GS/OS will allow the use of
gigabyte sized hard drives and larger as single partitions.

However, there was some talk in trying to update the
ProDOS FST to use volumes larger than 32MB
because ProDOS has some advantages, such as
speed.  But any changes would break ProDOS.

How about not changing it at all.  How about an INIT
or Finder extension or something that would create
a VIRTUAL partition, then take each ProDOS volume
on a partitioned hard disk and show them as FOLDERS?

This is not as crazy as it seems.  The drawback to
having, for example, 40 partition icons on the
desktop (for those with large hard drives but refuse
to use the HFS FST) is that it clutters.  But think
about it...we all have at least 40 folders in the root
directory of many of our partitions.  So why not
MAP the partitions as FOLDERS in a VIRTUAL
volume?

The main drawback I see is that this will only work
right with an Apple High Speed SCSI card.  The
RamFAST is limited to 12 partitions accessable
at any one time and I would think the limit would
also apply in the virtual volume.
