Vince, thank you for the offer, and IYRC, there was one of my
needs already on your plate. Email me and we'll discuss it some
more, and I'll send you a program that will let you set up those
140K DOS chunks on your CFFA card. It's called THE MOVER and it
is by Richard Bennett. You may already have it and not know.
Also, I have tried this yet, you may be able to get the old
OZ-DOS partitions in SHK format to unshrink to a ProDOS
partition.
I wouldn't go there if you have important stuff on the drive. 8o)
So, email me and we'll go from there.

Thanks again,

Bill @ GarberStreet Enterprizez };-)
