I have a home-brew (ala MacSCSI) hard-disk drive on my mac and have
been trying to run HFS on it. First I ran just the Finder 5.0. All this
gave me was the same old file system with the new Finder 5.0 features.
(Display small Icon,etc.) Then I downloaded a new System file that was
meant to provide HFS1. Running this system with Finder 5.0 gave me some
new Dialogue Boxes for Get/Put file dialogues. These dialogues have
icons (either a micro-floppy or an HD20 icon) and apparently a mechanism
for switching between folders (directories). The problem is that I
can't seem to create REAL folders. Just the same old fake (non-hierarchical)
folders of the old file system. I can't have files with the same name in
two different folders. 

What gives?

It seems like the new HFS is NOT getting loaded into memory as it must 
be with HD20. Where is the ram-based file system located?. It doesn't
seem to be in the System file. What about the HD20 file? Does this
have it?

Perhaps there is some special Volume Information that must be initialized
on the hard disk?

If anybody out there has had any experience with this or has any suggestions/
comments, I would greatly appreciatte it.
