If that's your only reason for wanting to partitioon the drive, you don't need to go to the trouble. I've got OS 8.6, OS 9.2.2, amd OS X all residing happily on the same partition. The Startup Control Panel is perfectly competent in letting you choose which system folder you want to start from. All you need to do is make sure your OS 8 and OS 9 folders don't have the same name. My 8.6 folder is imaginatively named "System Folder-8.6" John -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
