+OSX
+---
+
+* In Finder "command"+k opens a mounting dialogue
+* For `Server address` enter `smb://isisdatar80/inst$/` hit Connect
+* This should prompt you for federal ID `clrc\....` and password
+* After completing this the drive is now mounted
+* It can be found at `/Volumes/inst$`
+
+**NB** the address in step 2 sometimes changes - if it does not work, replace `80` with `55` or `3`.
