Sunrise IDE uses a not-so-standard way. Jon confirmed that IDE
uses all available space in sector 0 to save partition table. So, a PC
will recognize only the first 4 partitions... But, doing this makes
partition locating faster on MSX. :)

If I had a MegaSCSI, of course I would use NestorPartitionChanger. :)

Interesting... Thanks for the clear explanation.
So, SCSI users allways have to know the IDs of their SCSI devices?
If I had two SCSI HDs and a SCSI Zip Drive I must know that my first HD
has
ID 3, my second HD has ID 2, my ZIP drive has ID 7 AND that my SCSI
interface
has ID 4 (uff!) or I can't correcly select partition 3 of the ZIP-disk
on my ZIP drive? :P (ugh... should I write write the numbers in a
post-it
and put it in the front of my monitor? :P)
