- Since Syquests have a SCSI partition map, I assume the problem is
- the same one preventing an HFS hard disk formatted on a GS from working
- on a Mac. You need some sort of special partition with Mac-specific
- data for it to be recognized. The GS doesn't need it (and doesn't put
- it on). The reverse may also be a problem: the Mac partition confuses
- GS/OS somehow.
