BTW, I couldn't tell from the >message, but will ProDOS 8 be able to take advantage of the FSTs? No, File System Translators are a GS/OS thing.

They could even use SmartPort calls to see the CD-ROM partitions even when ProDOS 8 doesn't see them (beyond the 2nd partition on the SCSI chain, or the 4th if the SCSI card is in slot 5). -- David A.
