Subject: Upgrading to Sys 7: Attention PowerDrive/NUM users

I have been itching to upgrade to System 7, but haven't done so because of 2
potential problems.

1) NUM: Apparently v1.0.1 of the Norton Utilities doesn't work and an upgrade
to v1.1 (not yet available) is reqd. What are you NUM users doing in the
interim?

2) Disk Driver: I have the PowerDrive 105 Quantum drive and "Disk Manager Mac"
v2.23 software. According to a recently posted list, I need at least v2.24
(current version 2.25) to run 7.0. However, I am not sure whether I'm OK with
the version I have because I need neither VM nor 32-bit addressing--I have a
4MB Plus. Can any other PowerDrive owners shed some more light on the matter?
OnTrack Software, who distribute Disk Manager Mac, wanted $25 for an upgrade to
v2.25 even though the MacWeek list indicated it to be a free upgrade.

Finally, I believe it is possible to have Sytem 6.0.x and System 7.0 installed
on different partitons of one's HD, thereby allowing one to choose which
version to startup with. I have hard partitions on my HD: how do I go about
implementing this dual-system scenario?

I'm sure some of these questions have been addressed before and I apologize for
the repetition. I haven't had the time to stay current with the comp.sys.mac.*
