Well, I just tried it and it works like magic!!!!! I installed it and
rebooted to OSX, and when it came back up it not only mounted my
external drive, but my Linux partition as well. I could browse the MP3s
and drag them to the OSX desktop with no problem. I didn't want to risk
writing to the disk from there so I haven't tried that, but I'm so
pleased to be able to read the drive from OSX without any monkey
business. Yippeeee!!! Thanks a million.
