Is is possible to set up a Mac hard drive so that it can boot either a Plus
or a SE, depending on what it happens to be plugged into at the moment.

I will be purchasing a HD soon, but for now will be using with macs at a
couple of public sites here on campus.  One site has plusses, the other
SE's.  I'd like to boot off the drive at each of the sites.

I assume I'll have to have both SE specific and Plus specific versions of
the SYStem on the disk, most likely in separate system folders.
Partitioning the drive is an option.  I expect to use either SuitcaseII or
MasterJuggler, so fonts, da's, sounds can be kept in one location.  Init's
& cdev's would of course have to be in both folders, though.

Any chance of getting this to work?

Also, is it possible to create a 'hard link' in a HFS disk (a la UNIX)?

Thanks for any info.
