- Is it possible, and if so advisable, to have 7.1 in a seperate Mac only
- partition (or disk) that could be used when running *only* in MacOS mode?
- The taylored 7.0.x system, in another partion of disk, would be used at
- start-up when going into A/UX mode.
-
- If so, could the files in the 7.1 partition be accessed when running A/UX.
- This might let users enjoy whatever benifits there are from using 7.1,
- especially if the users don't run A/UX that often.
-
- Just a thought.
