In installing System 7.0, I thought, to handle incompatable software, that I'd just partition my internal Apple HD 80 into 2 40 MB partitions, install 7.0 on one, 6.0.5 on the other, and startup on the 'appropriate' partition as needed. In using the Sys7-supplied HD SC Setup from Apple, I find that, after creating one 40 MB 'Macintosh Volume' partition, that list choice vanishes and I can't create any more 'Macintosh Volume' partitions, so my plan won't work. Is there anything I'm missing here? I recall, now, all the discussion in comp.unix.aux, about how you could only have a single Mac HFS partition usable on a hard disk, but I didn't think (obviously -) ) that that would happen here. I appreciate any help. I could try using Silverlining, I suppose, but there was a posting a few days ago from a person who'd init'd their internal Apple disk with Silverlining and now, when installing Sys7, found that HD SC Setup couldn't find the drive to update it for VM, and (if I remember right) couldn't even re-init it with HD SC Setup. Again, thanks for any suggestions. I'll forward info I get to people who email me, or post to this group if enough people ask. See you around the bit stream! Larry Samuels samuels@nosc.mil
