Hi, There is a set of utilities for reading Mac disks call hfsutils. You can obtain it at: http://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/hfs/ It compiled easuily for my using NetBSD on my Mac Centris 650 and I see no reason why it should not work under FreeBSD. Note that tyhis pacj\kage allows you to access the Mac HFS file sructure but you are not mounting it in the traditional sense. You use special commands like hmount -- to "mount" the disk hcopy -- to copy files back and forth hdir -- to list the files It is more like FTP than directly accessing the file system. There is also a Tk/Tcl-based X interface. Hope this helps.

Will not even attempt to come up. Is there a way to mount a Mac SCSI drive into a FreeBSD Box?! I have the correct SCSI card, and it looks like it would work. but this is in the office main server, i do not wish to kill it, just in case... after that, i know how to mount a DOS drive and use the files that are on the FreeBSD drive, after i copied them off of the Mac Drive. > > Now, If i have not lost any one, can someone help? > i'm running 2.2.2 FreeBSD BTW....
