Regarding the DataFrame XP60, you may want to check with SuperMac on
this one. I have an old DataFrame 20 that I couldn't get to mount under
A/UX, and I couldn't format it for use as extra space for A/UX.
According to SuperMac because of the controller that the DataFrame 20
uses, it will NOT talk to A/UX. 

Hopefully this is not the case with your XP60.
