yyes vddto all of the foregoing
I have seen the CMD in actual operation and you can swap drives 8 or
drive 9... Yes you can use your ram expander with the drive installed.
Berkely is coming out with or has come out with a special driver for the 
cmd drive..  16M for a geos partition.... why would you want more
partitions?
