Folks,

I need some information about Rodime disks and how compatible they are with
Quantum disks etc. I have to investigate whether or not we can put A/UX onto a
Rodime disk. Please ignore the licencing issues for the moment (ie, Apple only
sell A/UX on an 80MB Quantum, as we are sorting those out).

The manuals on the Rodimes say that they are fully compatible with the Apple
HFS OS. Can anyone tell me what that means? Where are the device drivers for
Mac disks kept? On the disk?

Would anyone know whether it is possible to get A/UX to use a Rodime? How
would you go about partitioning a Rodime? How would you create a swap partiton
on a Rodime? The A/UX documentation I have does not discuss this point.

Regards
Richard Sharpe
PS, please note, I am not employed by Flinders University, I just have a guest
account on one of their hosts.
