Actually, there was a bug, at least back around rev 7.1 - I don't 
know whether it has ever been fixed - that would cause file damage 
and crashes under Apple's OS if you mounted more than some limit - I 
think it was 12 devices (partitions). I ran afoul of it myself & had 
to refer it to Apple - they told me this.
