 From past experience (hi Gerry!) the problem might be that the Mac is
looking at what would be the ST partition table and getting mighty
confused. I guess that is where some improtant mac info is kept.

 I know you can install Mac hard drives into your system and have Spectre
recognize them so that's an idea. I guess once Dave implements CHANGING
of Syquest drives then you'd be able to take a mac formatted cart and
possibly insert into Spectre (changing doesn't work, right?).

 Enough rambling,
 Marshall
