Actually it works very nicely.  On the Apple II SCSI card you can set the ID#
of the CPU.  So all you need to do is set the SCSI ID# on the HD and IIgs
to something different than 7 <that of the Mac> and partition the hard drive.
with the first physical partion being a ProDos partion and the other a Mac
partion.

I did this for over a year when I had a BBS running on a IIgs and did work on
my Mac.  The software I used to partion the drive was SilverLining.
