I mean change the counter in the string comparison routine that checks
for the "Apple_Driver" partition type string so that it only checks the
first 12 characters.  This counter is at byte $3574 in the System 6.0.1
SCSIHD.DRIVER file and is originally $1F.  Change this to $0B and the
driver will then ignore "Apple_Driver43" partitions.

If you make this or any other patch to the driver, I also you recommend
you bump up the version number.  Change byte $01FF from $10 to $2E (for
version 6.02 experimental).
