Re: Can a mac mount a prodos hard drive?

[Bryan Villados <news001@nospam_macgeek.org>]

I believe you can mount a ProDOS partitioned hard disk, though I
personally haven't tried it. When I run Drive Setup or Apple HD SC
Setup on the Macintosh, in the custom partitions section it provides me
the ability to create ProDOS partitions.

To mount them, I believe you must have Apple PC Exchange installed,
which comes with Macintosh System software (Mac OS) since version 7.5
(7.1 had it also, but it required an additional install step).
