Hello Bert!

I use a MEGAFILE 30 with a 65 MB Seagate ST277R Drive (I think this is the
drive in the MEGAFILE 60) instead off the originale 32 MB ST238R. It works
fine under TOS and MINIX 1.5.10. I use version 3.01 of the Atari harddisk-
software (AHDI and HDX). There are no problems in partitioning the drive.
Only if you want another partition-id for your MINIX-Partitions in the
superblock of the drive, you must change a configuration-file or you must
use a diskeditor.

Greetings, Olaf
