The March 1991 issue of ST Informer describes how to connect a 1.2 gigabyte
Micropolis Model 1598-15 hard drive to an ST.  Make sure your host adapter
and driver will work with whatever drive you have.

In any case, regarding TOS, the article says, "I knew that the I wanted the
first partition to be 16 megabytes.  That's the largest that a boot partition
can be on a TOS 1.0 system like mine.  Boot partitions on systems with TOS 1.4
and later versions can have 32-megabyte partitions.

   "For the remaining disk capacity, I elected to be symmetric and specified
four maximum-sized (256-magabyte) BGM partitions."

BTW, he was using ICD's utilities with ICD host adapter.
