Will S Doesn't that 8GB limit mean only that the OS X boot volume has to be within the first 8GB of the disk? Can't OS X access files on volumes anywhere on the disk? I briefly had Jaguar running on my machine last year, but I don't remember if I got around to using it to access non-boot volumes. - Aaron -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
