Wow. A single 2GB CF card contains more 32MB partitions than I can ever mount, so I'm not sure I understand why multiple devices is a benefit.
Well, I currently have a 1.2 GB SCSI hard drive (11 ProDOS partitions and 1 very large HFS partition) and a SCSI CD-ROM drive connected to my IIgs. I can still hook up another SCSI device, say my SyQuest EZ135 drive or one of my magneto-optical drives, as well for doing back ups and/or sneaker netting data to my PC (but I usually just use a null modem cable for transferring small files).
USB allows hooking up even more devices so what is wrong with wanting to be able to hook up some form of read/write storage (ie. hard drive, stick, CF adaptor and card), read only storage (ie. CD-ROM, DVD-ROM), serial connection (using a USB to serial adaptor), network connection (using a USB to ethernet adaptor), printer, joystick or whatever?
I usually try to throw a little logic at the wall to see if it will stick...but I don't like wasting it. ;-)
I'm all for logic. In fact, some people get a little upset with me sometimes because I'm almost always being logical. :)
