I used the "New image" option from the Disk Configuration screen.  The
AppleDisk5.25 driver was marked inactive (thanks Jeff Blakeney) so when I
activated that and restarted, Finder said it didn't recognize the disk and
asked to format it which I did and now it shows up on the desktop fine. 
Only have one 5.25 drive icon though. When I get home tonight I'll have to
check my system disks and see if there is a second driver that needs to be
installed?.

Kent, thank you for the excellent emulator.  I had been lugging around an
old PowerBook to run Bernie.  It's very much nicer being able to use my
MacBook Pro when I want to fool around with the IIgs.

Thanks, Mark
