	I have a Tecmar 10 mb Hard drive that I aquired through a  
macintosh users group.  Somebody there had already massaged the
system files in order to update it to what was then the most 
current system,2.2 I believe and included the Hard Disk 20 start-
up system file in order to get HFS.  This system works fine so 
far, but I'm beginning to wonder what will happen when I wish to 
update to the new ROMs which will require a new system.  Does
anyone out there know where exactly to patch the system, or what
resources need to be pasted in with ResEdit in order to get a
new system to recognize the MacDrive?  I've fiddled with a few
but to no avail.          
	Additionally, does anyone know whether the new ROMs will
work with the MacDrive.  I've already experienced compatability 
problems due to the hard-wired print driver (there is no way to use the
new imagewriter driver for my imagewriterII, as slight hassel but
no big deal).  I called Tecmar and all they said was it would work
but you couldn't get HFS.  When I told them I already had HFS they
said:  "sorry, can't support you on that...".
	Any help would be most appreciated.
