        I generally named my partitions after the manufacturer of the
drive and never had any problems using either the 3 letter device
name or the volume label interchangably. I did this because I
generally had at least one external SCSI drive hanging off my A3000
and A4000, an IBM 0661 2gig drive. I've had this thing for about 7
years now, connected to anything you could think of that might have a
SCSI interface and it's still going strong. Both my A3000/4000 were
running under OS 3.1. I had pre-order OS 3.5 prior to deciding to
sell my A4000.
