What is the largest size partition, and largest size hard disk,
that can be used
in a LC3 or LC475 running Mac OS 7.5.3?
What difference does it make if I upgrade to Mac OS 8.1 and HFS+?

the correct

with me.
My Quadra 840 runs System 7.1 and has a 4GB hard drive. I am sure the
size of the "clusters" is quite large making it somewhat inefficient
for storage storage. It is use mostly to capture audio from my stereo
with the resulting files being fairly large so their is not
significant wasted space.
