	in the past, I had used MacZAP's Recovery Tools which often allowed
	me to mount a drive when nothing else worked.  Since a few weeks,
	I've been using SCSIprobe - and there are differences in release
	1.1 and 2.01 which make it advisable to keep both in your System
	Folder ... as sometimes 1.1 succeeds in mounting where 2.01 does
	not (don't ask me) ...
