Re: Apple //e DOS 3.3 on SCSI-harddisk

The best you can do for DOS 3.3:

partition some chunks of your drive to be 800k and there are some DOS
utils that take an 800k partition and further partition it to 2 400k DOS
3.3 partitions.  I may be mistaken, you may have to create 800k floppy
disk images, rather than hard partitions.  you'll then boot to DOS 3.3,
and have to reboot to get back to  ProDOS

-or-

keep the whole thing ProDOS and use 140k DOS 3.3 images.  there are ProDOS
utils that know how to "boot" these images, then quit back to ProDOS when
you hit reset.

to simply backup files, you can use Copy][+ to copy all your DOS 3.3 files
into folders on a ProDOS volume.  to backup entire disks, in DOS 3.3
format, simply image them, as above.

remember, all ProDOS drives are permanantly maxed out at 32 megs, there
are no patches.
