Hi everyone! I have a CF card (512 MB) plugged into my MicroDrive Turbo, which is in slot 7 of my Apple IIGS. I'm trying to add partitions (this CF card came pre-partitioned into three 32 MB partitions for ProDOS, GS/OS, and nothing respectively) to my CF card through the GS/OS operating system using Advanced Disk Utility, since CiderPress on my Mac can't create new partitions. However, the IIGS only recognizes the CF card as a series of "volumes", each volume corresponding to a partition, but it won't look at the CF card as a whole, which is what I need to add new "volumes."
What am I missing? Thanks!

But I need to make more partitions than there are by default. There are three already there, but I know ProDOS can support more than three 32mb partitions, and I also need to create an HFS partition, which only GS/OS can do, right?
