Can a 9 gb scsi hd go into a Dou Dock?

Can 7.55 partition a 9gb hd into a number of hd's?

Can't remember if 7.5.5 has a maximum partition size of 2Gb or 4Gb (although I have it written down that 7.5.5 can use a maximum partition size of 2Tb - I might have been hallucinating though) but it can definitely use a 9Gb drive one way or another

In short though, yes

Copied from my post on another thread:

System 6 and 7 up to 7.5 only support partitions up to 2 GB, but will support a drive larger than 2 GB if partitioned into 2 GB sections. However, Apple's drive partitioning tools only support eight partitions per drive, so you're looking at only 16 GB accessible.

System 7.5 increased the max size of a partition to 4 GB. System 7.5.2 later increased the maximum size to 2 TB, but only on Macs with built-in PCI slots.

7.55 can support drive partitions up to 2TBs. It will be really strange though, since the minimum block size will be some obscenely large figure.

SCSI has no practical limit on drive size, unlike IDE.

However, you can't have a single file larger than 2GB on any System below 9.1, and can't use HFS+ on any System below 8.1. Oh, although this is off-topic: You can't use any drive formatted as HFS+ on both an 8.1 and 9.x system. Apple made some changes to the File table and you'll get errors everytime you move the drive back and forth between 8.1 and 9.x. 8.6 and 9.x are ok though.
