Folk,

A friend has data on a diskette written in MacOS around 1995.
According to this page hfs and hfs+ are supported.  
  http://wiki.debian.org/FileSystem

How reliable is this capability?

Should I try to identify the filesystem as hfs vs. hfs+ before 
trying to mount it?  

Will "mount -t hfs" damage hfs+ and conversely?

Thanks for any tips,              ... Peter E.
