: Try hooking it up to the mac and mounting it with "SCSIProbe" -- a free

: Exchange" control panel loaded.

I've hooked up my IIgs' hard disk to my Macs and only the HFS volume shows
up. From what I gather this is because you need to have in the drive's
driver partition a device driver that recognizes partitions with names other
than APPLE_HFS as disk volumes. I plan to put an Apple ROM equipped 230 mb
Quantum on my IIgs, formatted with Apple HD SC Setup, as I understand that
the driver it installs will work.
