Although you ClIn :;cgment the drive into
16
partitions,
due to the restrictions imposed by the various operating
systems, all

cannot be aC1ive at once. You can have four
active partitions at one time under ProDOS and CP/M.
DOS ],3 and Pascal, however, allow only two partitions at
one time.
You can decide which partition you
