Having just purchased a new hard disk, and not having too much
experience with hardware issues, I have two questions that I
hope someone out there can answer:
(1) What is the difference between hard and soft partitions
(I understand the former are preferable over the latter),
and how can I tell what kind my driver (SCSI Commander)
produces?
(2) Recently, there have been some articles about compatibility
of driver software with System 7. Why is that an issue?
As I understand it, you only use the software once, to set
up the drive, and System 7 takes care of converting the
various disk file structures to whatever it needs, no?
What am I missing?
Any help is appreciated.
