I think this is a mistake.  The drive is probably formatted MFS, the file
system the first Macs used, before HFS.

The drive only works with a few early Macs, the 512, Plus and possibly SE,
because they are the only machines with info in their ROMs to understand
the drive.  I never heard of any way to make one work with a //.
