Actually, a large HD on a //e is possible with a RamFast, but keep in mind
that you can't use all the partitions at the same time.  ProDOS can
recognize the RF as a smartport device, and have 4 partitions on at any
one time--2 for the slot the card is in and then 2 more remapped to
another.  You can however, use the Ramfast to swap partitions in and out
and so use a larger drive.  GS/OS can have multiple partitions on the
desktop however, so if you need more space, that might be the way to go.

I don't bother with that any more on my //e.  I now have the Apple HS SCSI
card hooked to a ZipDrive 100 formatted into 4 partitions.  That doesn't
get turned on as much any more since I'm using the CompactFlash for Apple
II (CFFA) card to run my //e--solid state storage in the //e!  :)

Later.................Howard
