>Anyone formatted a SCSI HD for both Mac and Windows 98SE? Macintosh partitioning schemes are quite different than intel based ones. It sounds quite unlikely that you'd be able to get Windows to live happily on a Mac partitioned hard disk. Windows wouldn't understand the Mac partitionng scheme and Mac would probably not want to boot from the Windows (and ultimately intel) based one. PRO-DOS may work - I've no idea what it's even for - but does that support FAT32? Win98 is pretty useless withoug FAT32.
One other big reason is the endianess of the processors differs. PPC is big endian and ia32/x86 is little endian. The way in which they both interpret numbers is fundamentally different. This will have an impact of the structure of the partitions and will probably cause things to fail. One scheme that will work is two separate hard drives. If you could have a MacOS hard drive and a Windows Hard drive, I think you'd have more luck in getting it to work. I'll stand corrected if anyone knows better ;-) Matt -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
