A two-partition-per-slot limitation is a *ProDOS 8* limitation, *not* a
limitation of the ProDOS file system; I have a hard drive in slot 1 with
3 ProDOS partitions on it (and it would work just as well in slot 7 if I
had it there).

Under GS/OS I can use all 3 partitions, but ProDOS 8 only sees the first
2.

(An actual limit of the ProDOS file system is a maximum volume size of
32 Megs.)
