You should note that NOT ALL HARD DRIVE PARTITIONING PROGRAMS ARE THE SAME!  
SUM's HD Partition, for example, creates a new file on your hard drive for each 
partition you create, and then stores all the files for that partition in that 
one large disk file.  This is markedly inferior (in most situations) to a true 
SCSI partition, like the A/UX partitions you can create with Apple's SCSI setup
program.  I'm not familiar with other partitioning programs; has anyone else
used one?
