Is it possible to still do SCSI disk mode as long as your MacOS
partition(s) do not exceed 4GB? I have made 3 MacOS partitions but they do
not total more than 4GB. After reading the above, I'd rather not test out
SCSI disk mode without knowing for sure that I will not cause any
corruption to the HD since I finally got YDL 3.0.1 to install after 2 days
of trying! :S
Thanks in advance!
