- I've been using 1.99p3 and have had problems reading Mac formatted 650MB
- magneto-optical disks in an IBM 0632CHA 1.3GB MO drive. I formatted and
- partitioned the disk with FWB's Hard Disk ToolKit on a PowerComputing 100
- running System 7.5.1. In DOS the MO drive is I:, and if I put a
- DOS-formatted disk in the drive, Executor will recognize it as a DOS HD.
- If I put the Mac formatted disk in and type
-
- executor -macdrives I
-
- the partition doesn't appear. Is this just an unimplemented part of
- Executor or do I need something like the Hard Disk ToolKit to recognize
- the Mac formatted MO disk?
-
- Also, Executor doesn't like the way Windows 95 handles MO drives and will
- crash when it starts to check for the MO disk. I also see the slowdown
- accessing DOS drives in full-screen DOS mode in Win95 but not in DOS6.22.
