There has been talk that with the Megafile 44 one can not swap disks
with different size partitions without a reboot.

I do not know if this is true, nor do I know the solution...

I can tell you this, I have a SyQuest mechanism connected to my ST with
an ICD Advantage Plus host adapter.  With the ICD BOOT software I am
able to swap disks with different partition sizes... no problem.

If you can not find another solution to your problem, and really need
this capability, I suggest buying the ICD Adv+.  It is around $100 and
comes with a battery backed clock & software to get/change time (use it
in the Auto folder).  There are also a bunch of neat utilities included.

I have no offiliation with ICD, except that I am a satisfied customer.
