The MacOSX system profiler will show what IDE connections exist. If
the drive doesnt show up there then its safe to assume thats its just
like a PC BIOS not seeing the drive.
Now for mounting the drive in linux. First make sure your kernel
supports it, you can find out what kind of filesystems the disk has by
using fdisk.
kernel requirements:
[*] Macintosh partition map support
<M> Apple Macintosh file system support (EXPERIMENTAL)
<M> Apple Extended HFS file system support
