[Coco] Glenside IDE problem

[Bill Pierce]

From what I read, it's 4g at a time... per partition. It's all the tables can hold, but a separate table for each partition.... I may be wrong... but that's the way the spec for the ide explained it. You eventually run out of room for tables, but this is an experiment, so who cares. I'll just do it again until I find something I like.
Besides... my Coco needed the exorcise, it was taking on a little weight while Vcc has been staying slim and trim.... :)

I thought the max that the CoCo could access total period was 4GByte
with the way the addressing of the LSN was?  That is if I remember
right.  Cause I had thought about buying a 8GB CF card, but saw that
you couldn't access anything past the 4GByte boundary.  Please correct
me if I am wrong on this.
