Hi Tom, welcome to Nowonder, I'm robertw.
All computers must have Mac OS 8.1 or later installed to access the
files on a Mac OS Extended format volume that is directly connected to
the computer. If a Mac OS Extended format volume is connected to a
computer running Mac OS 8 or earlier, you will not see any of the files
on the hard disk. You will see a document explaining that your files are
still on the hard disk, but unaccessible. You will be able to access
those files once you connect that hard disk to a computer running Mac OS
8.1 or later. However, Mac OS Extended formatted volumes shared on a
network by a computer running Mac OS 8.1 or later can be seen by a
computer running Mac OS 8 or earlier.
