I hate to touch this because people with much more knowledge are going to 
jump all over this. Still my 2 pennies. Prodos 8 , at least, only 
recognizes 32 meg. The scsi can handle 7 devices. When using a large 
drive it is necessary to partion the drive as several 32 meg devices.
Thus drive 1 = 32 meg, Drive 2 = 32 meg and so on upto I guess 300+ meg 
online.   Hope this help but stay tuned for specifics...
