I just know about partition tables created when formatting a disk with
MegaSCSI (except earlier versions of SFORM) and Sunrise IDE: both
devices create a standard partition table. You could even partition the
disk with a PC and be able to manage the partitions on the MSX (as long
as you use my PS.COM and NOT the original CP.COM with the MegaSCSI), and
vice versa: taht's the meaning of the word "standard". ;-) I don't know
about Novaxis.

Don't have headaches for this question, it is quite easy:
1) The ID of a SCSI device is either factory fixed (rare), configurable
by the user between two or three values to choose (the most common case)
or fully configurable to any value between 0 and 7.
2) The ID is configured via hard (a switch, jumpers, or whatever) and
can NOT be modified in real time via soft when the device is running.
3) As long as you don't repeat numbers, you are free to choose all the
IDs on a SCSI chain as you want. No need to be consecutive, or to set
IDs progressively according to the phsysical structure of the chain, or
whatever. Remember however that the SCSI interface itself owns one of
the ID of the chain, that is, logically acts as one of the devices.
