Here's yet another question for you folks out there in netland.  How
does ProDOS 8 deal with large (read: >200Mb) hard disks.  At the moment
I run a BBS on a 20Mb chinook (which I love by the way), but it's just too
damn small.  I've spotted a nice 340 Mb SCSI drive (Miniscribe) but I'm
wondering how ProDOS 8 can deal with a drive this size.  I know each
P8 volume can only be 32 Mb but even if I can get partitioning software
that's still almost 10 drives!  I'm not sure but it seems that there
might not be enough slot/drive spaces for that.  Anyone know the max.
number of drives on P8?  Are there likely to be any problems hooking this
beast to an Apple SCSI card?
        I don't have a GS so GSOS isn't really a big help here.  THanks
