AFAIK, older versions of AppleShare are limited to 2GB, as were Systems
before 7.5(?) Possibly I could go with 4GB partitions, I'll have to do
some more research.

I was not aware, however, that ProDOS volumes couldn't be shared... I
guess that simplifies things in a way. Can the IIe w/Workstation card
deal with HFS volumes that are larger than ProDOS's 32MB limit???
