SilverLining is great for making AU/X partitions, and it should have
no problem working with your drive.  The only downside is that it can
only be gotten directly from LaCie, and it costs $99.  Otherwise it's
a great and useful program -- it even supports resizable partitions,
and it comes with a DA to mount partitions at any time (if they're not
set to automount on bootup).

Can anybody help with partitioning a CMS 100 Meg or 170 Meg drive to work 
with AUX 2.0.
(The drive is working under Mac OS) 
Apple's HDSETUP won't recongnize the drive. The CMS utilities won't create 
partitions. Setting up the drive from within AUX appear's to create an 
invalid partition record.

I just got a Dr. Mac catalog, and SilverLining is offered in it.  So you
no longer have top order it directly from La Cie.
