You are late to the party Lisi, and I still have several MFM interface 10
and 20 megabyte Tandon drives that did function the last time they were
powered up. They were on my office CoCo3 when I was the CE at WDTV. My
own first hard drive here at home, also on a coco3, was a 30 megger. No
partitions needed there, but when we started using Amiga's for gfx at the
tv station, we did partition them to separate the OS stuffs from the
production stuff. That was in '87 or '88 IIRC.
