How can I create formated Prodos partitions, which are bootbalbe by an Apple 2e card, on SyQuest disks? Background. I just started playing with the a2e card. The included software can partition and format Prodos, but only on genuine Apple drives (I'd like to use a SyQuest, if possible). I tried creating 3 28meg Prodos partitions on a iigs. They are recognized on a IIgs, but won't mount on a Mac.
Macs require a driver partition on the hard drive to be able to mount the drive. Most Apple II programs won't produce that driver partition. I believe Adv. Disk Utilities is one that's suposed to be able to format and partition a hard drive so it can be read on the Mac. If that's how you've formatted the HD then I'd try using something like SCSI probe to try mounting it. Wayne
