I just got my Mac IIfx with AU/X v 2.0. But... Is it possible to mount a regular Mac (CMS 300) drive with Mac files on it under AU/X v. 2.0 without repartitioning it etc.? I want it to come up on the desktop and not as a mounted file system. Just like the main hard drive's Mac partition. Any advice will be appreciated! I also have a syquest drive (PLI). Is it possible to mount it either as an AU/X file system or as a regular hard disk on the desktop? Please advise me! I tried Silverlining but looks like I also need the diskgeometry or whatever. Please respond by email! Thanks a $10^6$! Paul Paul Nevai nevai@mps.ohio-state.edu (Internet) Department of Mathematics nevai@ohstpy (BITNET) The Ohio State University 1-(614)-292-3317 (Office) P.O.

I want it to come up on Yes - as long as the CMS 300 works with the A/UX generic SCSI disk driver (and I think it does). Only one MacOS partition will appear on the desktop even if you have more. If the CMS formatting software does not create a "correct" partition map then it won't work. But Silverlining will do it correctly. > > I also have a syquest drive (PLI).

What you really mean is "A/UX filesystem or as a MacOS filesystem. The answer is yes. Use Silverlining on the Syquest. > I tried Silverlining but looks like I also need the diskgeometry or > whatever. I don't have Silverlining but I have been told that it works. You must have tried it during the wrong phase of the moon. Without a more specific answer I can't help. Cheers Tony Cooper sramtrc@albert.dsir.govt.nz
