120gig HD in an Apple II?

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.

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. :D

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.

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?
