If you wish to mount a ProDOS disk on a Mac running a OS above System 7.n you
must 1st turn off file sharing. That is, a filesharing Mac cannot mount a
ProDOS disk. This is described in all sorts of technical write ups but I have
a very simple question that has never been addressed concerning thius:
Why?
Is there a technical reason that filesharing and ProDOS are incompatable? Were
the programmers of System 7.n OS(s) truely that much better at it then the
ones whot wrote the later OS(s)? Is it biorythms, phases of the moon? Steve
Jobs had a tantrum (again)? Or, is there some real tech reason I am missing
here?

on a related note: Anyone know of a way to mount ProDOS volumes under OS X?
