2) Barring the above, can anybody suggest a way of transferring stuff
from one hard drive to the CMS partitions? 100 meg of data would take a
VERY long time by null modem cable! A little less, maybe, by 800 K disk.

Can't you just daisy-chain both drives through the same SCSI controller?
I seem to recall that Apple's High-Speed SCSI controller allowed up to
seven devices to be used simultaneously. Don't the RAMfast and the CMS
controllers behave the same?

Mike,

the CMS SCSI card uses a unique partitioning scheme that won't work on
another SCSI card.

And that's the reason for a standard SCSI partitioning scheme--without it,
daisychaining doesn't work.
