Hello all.

We have here an R260, with 120MB SCSI drive, sectioned so that about
7.5MB is available to RISC-OS, the rest to RISC-iX. 

Is it possible to claw back some of the space (around 15MB) allocated to
RISC-IX for RISC-OS to use, using the SCSIDM program, but without
trashing what is already on the disk? There is approximately 50MB of
free space within RISC-iX. I am hoping that it is possible to simply 
alter whatever maps and tables exist to achieve this.

Failing that, are there any alternatives, short of reformatting?

Any advice/info gratefully received.
Neil.
