Accessing files on external USB drive using UNIX?

Hi Folks,

I'm a serious UNIX newbie... I'm using a bash shell on Mac OS X.

Basically I took up unix in order to use a specific image processing software package... I've learned enough to write a script to batch process all of my images, but I have so many that I would like to use an external (USB) drive to hold the data and point the script towards those files.

Is there any way to navigate to an external drive in UNIX?

Thanks.
-Brent.

NAME
cpmcp - copy files from and to CP/M disks SYNOPSIS
cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image user:file file cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image user:file ... directory cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image file user:file cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image file ... user: DESCRIPTION
cpmcp copies one or more files to or from a CP/M disk. When copying multiple files, the last argument must be a drive or directory. The drive letter does not matter because the device is specified by the image, it is only used to specify which direction you want to copy. The user number is specified after the drive letter, if omitted user 0 is used. You can use * and ? in CP/M file names, which have the same meaning in sh(1) file name patterns. OPTIONS
-f format Use the given CP/M disk format instead of the default format. -p Preserve time stamps when copying files from CP/M to UNIX (not implemented for copying the other way so far). -t Convert text files between CP/M and UNIX conventions. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, exit code 0 is returned. ERRORS
Any errors are indicated by exit code 1. FILES
/etc/cpmtools/diskdefs CP/M disk format definitions AUTHORS
