About 3:38 pm +0100, on 4/25/02, an e-mail from Ben Smith \(QM Systems\) sagely related: -> -> You CANNOT legally download 8.6, it is not a free upgrade. your best -> bet would be ebay or maybe someone on this list has a legit copy they -> will sell you. -> I am not aware of any 3rd party utils for the Mac that let you change -> partition sizes 'on the fly', if you can buy or borrow a second drive, -> then you can copy everything off both partitions and run 'Drive setup' -> and re-partition your drives that way. -> I have heard other list members say that you can use USB with 8.5x by -> installing the USB extensions from Apple, hopefully someone else will -> come back with details of this.
