- You have to somehow get the Mac driver installed on the cartridge,
- since Macs have a driver on each hard drive they access.
-
- ADU did tell you "this won't be readable on a Mac" or somesuch
- similar notice when you formatted it, right?
-
- One possible solution is to make ADU think that the drive is
- actually an Apple drive, so it will install the Mac driver on it. You'd
- want to obviously try this on a new cartridge or one you don't mind
- reformatting. After ADU makes a SCSI call to ask the drive what it is,
- manually change the data it's read back in.. Obviously GSBug and Nifty List
- are what you'd use to do this.
-
- Yes, this is an utter pain in the neck..
-
- DUHH.. I think I just realized a *MUCH* easier solution.. (yet the
- above should work also if one knows enough about SCSI) Format the
- drive on the MAC, making one 32 megabyte partition, and the rest the next
- partition..
-
- Then stick the drive in the GS and reformat the *first* HFS partition
- to be a ProDOS partition.
