I have a LaCie 600MB disk at home... it is running A/UX and MacOS.
The software that they provide works rather well... it will set up the
'standard' A/UX partition set, allow you to customize the partitions,
and has support for the A/UX partitions (the non-standard ones).
Unfortunately, there software has a rather minor bug -- you can't set
up an A/UX partition with an arbitrary name.  (this can be easily
worked around)  Other than that, I am happy with the software.

They also provide MacOS disk share software and promise to send you a
free printer share program when the write it... someday...
Unfortunately, they don't have a disk share program for A/UX <--> Mac
file shareing.  sigh.
