   Well, to my knowledge, they have never made it known that the software 
is commercial. I have another copy of pretty much the same software with 
a totally different name that I got with my Maxtor 120 when I first got 
my Mac. I do have APS 2.7.3 and based on data sent to me from various 
people, I have found how to create the partitions I want instead of what 
the software sets up by default for AUX. 

   I must admit it is really hidden. I will attempt to go in & document 
how to get into the graphic of the partitions and how to go about 
creating the ones needed for MacBSD so that others can do it more simply. 
I also heard from another person that you can patch Apple HD SC to work 
with other drives. I have requested this info; but it hasn't arrived yet. 
As far as being an APS owner to use the APS software...well I have an 
external SCSI drive case with the APS logo on it that I got over the net 
for my 80 Meg. I guess that sort of counts. :)
