No. ProDOS 8 can't see the Macintosh partitions. The Macintosh can see the
ProDOS partition, though.
A thought, though: I wonder if ProDOS can see the Macintosh partitions, if
you install AppleShare? But that's a terribly expensive investment just to
see if it works.
> 2) Can you run Mac and Apple2 apps simultaneously ?
No. If you have an Apple II application running, you can switch over to "the
Mac side", but the Apple II application suspends operation.

No. It uses the Mac's serial ports.

Well, ProLine, but I'm biased. I don't think that anyone's tried running it
on a IIe Option Card, though it works fine on a real Apple II.
