[DuoList] 2400c hard drive upgrades

[BG]

I replace my HD with a 10 gig from an iBook I set 2 equal partitions 
and was still able to get into SCSI disk mode.  I know it wasn't 
supposed to work but is does. I don't know if this is a fluke or what. 
I don't use the SCSI disk mode much maybe only once or twice since i 
got my 2400 back in 97'.
