That is good, I can set up the drive for use on the 486 and for
Mac/2gs and swap the drive around without the need to
repartition,/initialise.

Problem is the drive is seen on the SCSI bus with SCSI Probe, but will
not mount.

The 2gs has an apple high speed SCSI card and the drive is set to
SCSI#6 and has internal SCSI termination. Also the drive is the only
SCSI device connected to the 2gs....so far :>
