A2 SCSI Partition Utility
I was thinking of a somewhat less ambitious approach to handling a 2GB drive
on my IIgs.
Make 60 or so 32 Mb partitions.
System 6.01 can handle over 32 partitions, (though after about 30, the
finder puts them all on top of each other on the desktop and you have to
manually separate them.)
My idea is PU - a SCSI Partition Utility.
This would let you rewrite the partition table to rearrange the order of the
partitions.
ProDOS 8 only allows you to see at most 14 partitions (fewer if you're using
any other disk devices).
PU would allow you to pick which ones and also to change which one is the
boot partition.
With that feature, I might also want to allow DOS3.3, CP/M and Pascal boot
partitions as well.
This approach is probably a lot easier to implement and presents few
compatibility problems.
Anybody have any thoughts on this idea?
