Like I can with floppies? I believe so, but you may have to compile your own kernel under Linux to support the Mac filesystem. In fact, I intend to do exactly this in order to rescue a mac drive, because I'm more familiar with Linux disk tools (fdisk etc). I believe the commands under Linux you'll need are fdisk (to partition the disk), and mkhpfs(?) (to make the mac filesystem). Linux should be able to read/write mac disks - you might have to do a 'man mount' for the relevent options for the mac filesystem. Cheers, MvdW
