Are there any probl;ems with connecting 300 megabyte disks (.vis. 345 Maxtor or Imprimis/Wren) to the Macintosh? Can the Finder actually handle that much space? Do I need to do anything funny with partitioning the disk or can it be just one big partition. What if I do partition the disk? Can the Finder open each parititon as a seperate volume? I'm looking for a new (big) disk for my new machine. Can the IIx power supply handle the power requirements of big disks like this? Even with let's say 3-4 Nubus boards installed along side? Thanks. -- John T. Nelson UUCP: sun!sundc!potomac!jtn Advanced Decision Systems Internet: jtn@potomac.ads.com 1500 Wilson Blvd #512; Arlington, VA 22209-2401 (703) 243-1611
