Actually lots(not all) of GS OS applications and games can be run from HFS. But yes, the IIgs will need a ProDOS partion to boot to and load the operating system from. I have 4 partitions on my IIgs's 350MB drive... One ProDOS partition for GSOS, 2 ProDOS partitions for games and apps that wont run from HFS, and one large HFS partition which I put anything that will run from HFS in.

what benjamin is trying to say is you are required to have a least one Prodos
partition for os and software that you want to run. A hfs partition will not let
you boot or run software, but you can store data or software that you don't
intend to run.

I have a gigabyte drive on my IIGS (Way more than I think I could fill)
I partitioned it with GS/OS. A floppy with the SCSI driver (I think it's on by
default) will work. I used 6.0.1. Use the Disk.Tools disk to formatt the drive
with a few 32MB partitions... Stuff like System, Apps, Games,  Music, Data,
and then make a HFS vol with the rest of the disk. "HFS Data" is a good name
(you can use spaces here).
