The Berkley MicroSystems hard disk driver supports the capability. I am presently running two Maxtor 1065's off of an Adaptec, and it works quite nicely, thank you. That gives my li'l ol' 520 8 partitions of approx. 14Mb each. I'm now backing up from one hard drive to the other, and my floppies are FINALLY getting a chance to rest. The backup procedure is not straightforward, however (Carefully straddling the 40-folder limit with your source foot and destination ...... :-). In addition, when you deal with BMS, you also get a clock on the controller, which eliminates all problems with cartridge-mounted clocks or piggybacked KBD chips, etc. -- Walt Weber PHONE: (617) 256-6600 x7004 Apollo Computer GENIE: W.WEBER Chelmsford, Mass.
