I believe the CMS SCSI II card will still NOT partition larger
than 32MB per partition.  It is fine for the IIe, but this is pretty
bad for the IIGS.  I also remember ADU not liking it.  Yes,
ADU can see the partitions, but it can't partition the disk or
repartition it....

The reason that it is so bad for GS/OS is because using the
HFS file system, nobody likes 32MB partitions!  There is
no 32MB size limit!
