	Ok guys, here's a tough question. If and when other FST's come
out for the IIgs, would it be possible to say format a HFS partition
for my GS with a hypothetical HFS FST and then take the hard drive down
to a mac, connect it up to the SCSI bus, and then be able to mount the
partition? Or how about an MSDOS partition with another hypotetical MSDOS
FST and then connect the hard drive to a NeXT that also has a MSDOS
FST and be able to mount that volume? This would be really useful in being
able to share data among different platforms, and I really am not sure
how partitions in situations like this.

	Also, once again, I am looking for some comments about which SCSI
card to buy. I'm leaning towards getting the RAMFast card, but am unsure
about commiting myself to it, as the Apple High Speed SCSI card supposidly
has better comaptibily among SCSI devices. Also would the use of storage
devices such as the SYQuest with cartridges be affect by the different
cards? Again, send me e-mail about your comments about the cards, and
thanks to everyone who has answered it so far! Thanks!
