I have 2 95M partitions on my IDE drive.  I'm using 14M of one of
them, and that's with just about everything that exists for OS-9
installed, and a bunch of gifs :-).

You may have trouble if you use clustering (more than 1
sector/cluster).  At this point, we're pretty sure all the
cluster-size related bugs have been shaken out of NitrOS itself, but
there are all the other programs people wrote for OS-9 that may do
low-level filesystem access and assume 1 sector per allocation unit.

Using 1 sector/cluster limits your partition size to 128M.
