David: RE: New PALs – see my messages starting at about 51950. As a satisfied customer, you might like to add a few words. RE: Partitioning – Yes, Specifics will be included in the new docs with the new SCSIformat program. In the meantime try this: Open the Expansion Drawer on you boot disk (Not the one on the H.D.) Click the SCSI Icon once. Pull down the menu (leftmost on the menu bar) Select "INFO" Locate the "TOOL TYPES" box (should read "Product Code 1004/14") Click the "Down" arrow (should change to "DISK0=DH0/4/17/0/592/5:") EDIT TO READ: "DISK0=DH0/4/17/0/99/5:DH1/4/17/100/199/5:DH2/4/17/200/592/5:" Click the "SAVE BOX" Then use the standard DOS format Command to Format as follows: FORMAT DRIVE DH0: NAME Drive0 FORMAT DRIVE DH1: NAME Drive1 FORMAT DRIVE DH2: NAME Drive2 Now use the binddrivers command or mount dh0:, mount dh1: and dh2: to access the drives. Note: the values 0-99, 100-199, and 200-592 are arbitrary and you should select the sizes you want your partitions to be. In this case you would have two 3.33 MEG partitions and one 13.33 MEG partition. Good Luck, E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. Wichita, KS (316) 267-6321
