In a nutshell, No. OS X cannot mount any other FS types on local drives other than CDFS, HFS, HFS+, UFS and UDF (DVD). And 80-pin? excuse me if I am ignorant here, but shouldn't that be 40 pin? IDE/ATA is 40 pin, SCSI-1 is 50, SCSI-2 is 70 I think, SCSI-3 is 80... just seems very wrong, that's all -- Ryan Coleman -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
