Reorganizing my HD
I will be replace my current HD setup on my GS with a larger drive
(specs are not given to show off. I am not like those "I have
a 486DX2-66 with a 500 meg HD and..." people :) besides, it's not
that impressive.
Current setup:
a Seagate 80 meg HD and a Quantum 100 meg HD, driven by a RamFast
SCSI card. All the partitions are formatted with ProDOS 8.
New (possible) Setup:
a Maxtor/Connor 345 meg HD. I might keep the other two if I can't
sell them off (watch the comp.sys.apple2.marketplace for my
upcoming ads :)
I would like to (eventually) get gno for my gs, and would like to
have 2 or 3 prodos/gsos partitions, and use the rest as one HFS partition.
the HFS partition would be use with/by gno, since Unix/Gno allows for
some funky path|file-names that won't be valid for gsos.
My concerns: what happens if the HFS partition crashes? There are no
utilities for/on the GS that will fix it. I think someone said that
I'll need a GENERICAPPLESCSI (?) driver on the HFS partition if I want
the ability to connect the drive to a mac and have it repaired there.
How do I go about getting this elusive driver? I also recall something
about the genericAppleSCSI driver hiding in the resource fork of the
ADU program. Is this true?
Answers and suggestions and replies are eagerly anticipated, and much
appreciated.
