They don't always mount. I connected a ProDos drive that works fine on my
IIgs to my Color Classic running 7.6, didn't mount. The Mac formatter and
SCSI probe saw it, however. Someone else had the explanation, but I forgot
what it was... The GSOS formatter has an option to make the drive work with
a Mac. Apparently, you have to select that option.
