[comp.sys.atari.st] Wanted: Hard Disk Driver with more than 4 partititions

york@altger.UUCP (york) (01/27/89)

Does anyone know of a public domain hard disk driver, which supports
more than 4 partititions on a hard disk. I am going to add a Mega-
file 60 to my 40 MB disk and don't want to have only 16 MB partiti-
tions.

By the way: The sond of Megafile 60 is even more powerful than
good old SH205/SH204.

		Thanx in advance            uli

I am unaware of ANY public-domain hard disk drivers, but I believe
that both ICD and Supra have posted their complete software on the
pay services (Genie/CI$/Delphi).  The Atari-based software will only
permit 4 partitions per drive, while ICD & Supra use an "extended
format" partition table (in phys sector 0) which permits up to 8
partitions per drive.

I believe that Supra will sell just the software.
