Frank,

First, from RamFAST ScsiUtils, select your Hard Drive.  You then have to
resize the existing partition so that it is smaller, freeing up space
for
another partition.  In the upper left corner the space available is
displayed.  If you want a second partition that is 20mb's in size then
keep making your existing partition smaller (use the arrows on the left
of the screen) until there are 20mb's available.  Then click Add (or
enter OA-A) at the top of the screen and use the arrows on the left to
size the partition to 20mb's or use all the available space.  Then you
have to click on Partition and that should do it for you.  Oh, if you
want to rename the partition, hilight it hit the delete key (not the
menu choice) and type the new name, hit return.

This will destroy any and all existing data on your drive.  If there is
anything you want on there, copy to somewhere else first or you _will_
lose it.

P.S.
    Yes,  I've been using an iomega Zip Drive on my IIgs for quite
sometime now.  I love it.  It also works on my //e  :)
