I saw David Empson say one time that some SCSI drivers won't mount partitions
which aren't named Apple_HFS. I run Chinook SCSI Utils on my IIgs hard disk
which has a 32 mb ProDOS volume and a 70 HFS volume and saw that the HFS
volume is Apple_HFS but the ProDOS volume has the same name for the partition
as the volume name. So looks like this may be the deal.
