Re: [IIgs] Buying a Hard Drive for my old IIgs

["Mark Cummings" <NOTfigjams@primus.com.au>]

The Focus drive can be upgraded to larger sizes if you can get the drives. I
have a 750Mb 2.5" IDE IBM drive in mine, but I've think you can go up to
2.2G at the most. Mind you at 2.2G you either have a lot of 32MB ProDOS
partitions (to a maximum of 32 x 32MB) or a few 32MB ProDOS partitions and a
huge HFS partition or two.
In practical terms I think 500MB to 1G is more than most users will ever
use.
