Since the Mac sucks in that it requires a "driver partition" on every 
device (how incredibly lame), it's a pain in the butt to get the Mac to 
recognize volumes that were formatted on any other machine (including HFS
volumes formatted on the GS).


Solution: Install PC Exchange, reboot.  Make sure the device you're trying to
read is hooked up and turned on.  Open the PC Exchange control panel.
click on the Options button.  Put a checkmark next to the device that isn't
mounting.  Now you have to reboot again I think.

Your device will *finally* show up on the desktop.
