I have a problem with the Mac not seeing the HD (it's a MacPlus HD though) after I have plug it into my 7600 to transfer some files. What I did was transfer the system onto a floppy and put SCSI Mount on it and reboot the Mac with the floppy and use SCSI to mount the drive. Once it's mounted, everything works fine.
