Yes. I see. You're probably right. But I know a way to make the Mac
eat this:

1.- Create a disk image (with diskCopy) of the exact the same size as
the partition that is in the CF card, and format it as ProDOS.
2.- Lauch HardDiskToolkit or another similar tool and save to a file
the blocks of the CF card that contain the ProDos partition that
you're after.
3.- Launch HexEdit, open both files, copy the data that you've just
read (in the 2nd step), and paste it so as to replace the contents of
the empty disk image created by DiskCopy (in the 1st step).
4.- Close Hexedit and save the changes.
5.- Open the (now modified) disk image as usual...(double click it).
6.- Voila !
