A few days ago I finally got a new hard drive, a Data Cell (generic Quantum 170 MB) drive. The software that came with it didn't even allow pmultiple partitions, and dp didn't recognize the partition map. I was able to use it for either MacOS or A/UX, but not both, which is what I wanted (50% Mac, 50% A/UX). Since I don't have Silverlining, I figured I'd try something else: the formatting/partitioning software that came with my Syquest drive succeeded in getting the setup I wanted (patched it up a bit in dp). The software is the PLI Formatter 3.0, am I taking any risks using a PLI driver for a non-PLI drive? (MacIIfx, 8MB RAM, A/UX 2.0, MacOS 6.0.5) Sven Dietrich sven@cshl.org
