However, the SCSI cards tended to use Apple Partition Map, I thought.
So, the question is, what SCSI card is this?



    Good question!  The CF card was most likely partitioned using the
Chinook SCSI Utility (CSU) with an Apple SCSI card.  I'm going to
format a 32 MB CF card on a Windows machine as a FAT volume then take
that card and partition it as a ProDOS volume to see if I can
duplicate the problem.  CFFA users can't experience this problem
because the CFFA doesn't create a Mac partition map.  I bought a CFFA
some time ago but have never used it because of that.


In the past, I remember having to partition a drive on the Mac if I
wanted to be able to remount it on the Mac after creating a ProDOS
partition.
