Do not let KEGSMAC mount a MAC OS X disk image that is mounted
on the Mac at the same time.  Always unmount it from the Mac first before
letting KEGSMAC use it.  This has worked fine for me.  If someone knows of
a programmatic way to enforce this, I'll add it to KEGSMAC, but for now
you need to be careful.

If you have SCSI on your Mac, you can use the same basic idea to let
KEGSMAC use your real Apple II hard drives (or Zip disks, or whatever), but
there are restrictions (at least for my Firewire-to-SCSI solution).  That
being said, I regularly mount and use my ProDOS partitions under KEGSMAC
allowing for very fast file transfers.

First, Mac OS X will not see a device that doesn't have at least one
partition it recognizes (HFS, HFS+, etc).  So you need to add a small HFS
partition to your Apple II hard drive if you didn't have one already.
Do the partitioning on your Apple II since I found it worked best.
You cannot use at least one HFS partition in KEGSMAC, so creating a
small dummy partition is best.  Also format HFS on the Apple II as
well.

- Attach the SCSI disk to your Mac (unhook it from your Apple II).  It will
	mount the HFS partition(s).  Unmount all but the dummy HFS partition
	from your Mac.  SCSI is not hot-swappable, so devices should be
	off when changing any SCSI connections.

- In a Terminal window, run "df" to see the /dev/disk number this dummy
	partition got mounted as.   Let's assume it's /dev/disk2s7 (the s7
	doesn't matter).

- In KEGSMAC, select /dev/disk2 (without the s7) and let KEGSMAC give you
	the partition list.  Do not use the dummy partition, but you can
	use any of the other HFS partitions or any ProDOS partition.
