Hi, Please excuse a non Demon subscriber posting here (if it's totally out of order please forgive me) but I find this excellent newsgroup is essential reading. I've a shiny new 4Gb external drive winging it's way to me at the moment (and I thought my 250Mb internal would be more than enough!) and would appreciate people's advice.... As my Mac is a 68k I'm unable (I think) to use HFS+ so any recommendations as to the best way to partition and organise this new beast would be great? Are there any advantages (speed, ease of use, features etc) to various 3rd party formatters? I believe the provided software is a licensed version of 'Formatter One Pro' by Software Architects, I've never heard of these (tho' I'm about to hunt them out on the web) but is there superior formatting software out there? The drive is from ONE Technologies and apparently uses IBM's DCAS 34330 engine -- any comments? (I've 7 days to return it if it's a complete dog) Thanks for taking the time to read this, and many thanks in advance for any replies. Cheers! -- Tony Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England
