Also can I daisy chain two scsi hard drives to my iigs with a total of 8 partitions?
If the Mac sees the ProDOS partitions, then they can be dragged to the SmartPort control panel in the Apple IIe config. It will support 4 partitions at a time, although you can have more and swap them out with drag/drop.
If the hard disk was formatted with some custom non-Apple utility (like CMS perhaps) on the IIgs, then the Mac may not see the partitions. Not sure how you could fix that.
Hook it up and see, being careful with the SCSI ID's and termination. The ProDOS partitions will show up on the Mac Desktop.
That's what I need to know thanks
