	Nah, I've been using a 200M HD with 4 partitions, 3 32M prodos
partitions and 1 104M HFS partition, never had a problem with the hfs
(with the exception of extracting binsciied files and mv in gno).
	Hmm... just curious about this, but is it possible to use a HD
that's been formatted for MS-DOS?  I'm wondering about partitioning a
HD into 3 parts, one prodos, one hfs and one ms-dos (it should be
do-able on a Mac) and using it on a GS.  Wonder if it can be done (I
do have Peter Watson's MSDOS Utilities).
	Anyway, I'll probably be doing the AppleTalk route since I'm
getting a 2nd hand decstation and sticking the big hd there.  Is it
possible to use AppleTalk under Prodos 8?  Is there any special things
I have to do first (for both GS/OS and Prodos 8)?
	Thanx for any help.
