This would solve the annoyance of having several 32MB partitions.

There is no HFS driver for ProDOS 8. So if you boot ProDOS 8 from that partition, you will only see the 32MB partition. If you install and run GS/OS on that ProDOS 8 partation then you will see both the ProDOS 8 partition and the HFS partition provided you install the HFS FST during the GS/OS install.

If you boot back to ProDOS 8 application while in GS/OS then you will not see the HFS partition.

At least that is the way I understand things to be.
