Could not get the Emplant SCSI to detect even in the Amiga OS (empscsi.device.) So, I'm not counting that. When I'm ready to test on my physical system, I can give this further testing.

Just like any other SCSI controller, you need to setup the hard drive using the appropriate SCSI tool. You can use HDToolBox with empscsi.device

DiskCopy works fine. Make sure you are selecting the drive in the setup menu. Remember that you can't read or write real Mac disks in Amiga drives (they are not compatible). You can read/write in EMPLANT of AMAX formats, or Mac format if you have my AMIA device and a real Mac drive.

Again, all of that could be because I was testing in WinUAE and may not exist on my physical HW. Will find out if I test it there, which is very likely unless ShapeShifter just wow's the total crap out of me.

Just like a real Mac, you MUST install the system software specifically for the Mac model (FUSION) you are using. You can NOT ever share hardfiles between FUSION and Shapeshifter - no matter what anyone tells you.
