Here's a chance to help with your question about partitioning and to
give an opinion as well.
A company called La Cie (grab a MacWorld magazine for addresses and
phone numbers) sells disk drives, and they come with an amazing amount
of good stuff. I just bought a 40 meg drive, and it came with
software to do the sort of partitioning and (sigh) passwording that
youu referred to. I believe the program is called "SilverLining", and
I believe it will work with a Quantum 80.
They also include a program to share disks over the appletalk network,
and a backup program. I recommend you call them and see what they
say. They seemed like real nice folks; course the air is probably
clean and the stress level lower than where I am...
But just out of curiosity (I don't own LaCie stock or anything), are
these people really as good as they seem? I mean, I don't plan to
partition the disk, and the Cordura carrying case for the disk is very
nice, and I swear this has got to be the quietest drive I have ever
heard! A little more expensive, but could these people really be into
QUALITY? I may have to rethink my whole theory about AmErIcaN
IndUstrY.
Anyway, "One person's OpInIoN" <- (Note StUdLy CaPitiLizAtiOn).
