Josh,

"True SCSI" partitioning is basically partitioning that occurs when you 
initialize the drive for partitions, as opposed to a "standard" drive.  Other
partitioning schemes involve the creation of an invisible file at the root 
level of one's hard disk and via the particular software's INIT or DA that
allows the Mac OS to treat this file just like any other volume.
