Robert,
Thanks for citing that pdf file.  I had forgotten about that file.  I just
looked at it and I'm going to play around with it and see what I come up
with.  It ought to be interesting.  :)  
Kip

Assuming that you will be happy with multiple Disk Basic partitions, refer
to

0Drives.pdf

It is unlikely that you will need multiple OS-9 partitions as the OS can
address $FFFFFF or 16,777,215 sectors. That's over 4G at 256 bytes per
sector. It would be much simpler to use several different OS-9 formatted
hard drives if more room is needed.
