STICH666 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'm just curious. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Why? Filling a 120GB drive with an Apple II would be like filling a bathtub with an eyedropper. A 120GB drive is equivalent to about one million 5.25" disks. Did you mean 120 MB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 There are CF cards for the Apple II that you might be able to get a couple GB on, but I don't think you could hook such a large drive up to the Apple II. Well not and have it be useable, I don't know if the Apple could see the whole drive. Why would you need all that space though, you could copy every Apple disk ever made 20 times over in that space.

JamesD Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) I have a compact flash interface (CFFA) for my IIgs and the 16MB card I'm currently using is split into a couple partitions. ProDOS handles up to 32MB per partition and up to 16 MB per file. I don't know what the maximum number of partitions is. The HFS file system on the IIgs is totally different and you can read about it here. <edit> I do know there are people using 1GB CF cards. I also just bought a 4MB RAM card for my IIgs. It just plugs in a slot, no hacking required. Edited February 17, 2009 by JamesD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that would probably be your only limit. I don't know the max number of partitions but it's probably something like 64, 128 or 256. Still, having that many partitions would be unwieldy at best.

Tempest I was thinking it would be the max 16 bit number but I'm not sure. Hmmm... was that file on partition number 4567 or 3456? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
