I followed all the instructions to recover my broken drive (see below) but still get presented with Connect a drive

Hopefully @jviotti will be able to help with this one (I don't have a Mac myself).

That is the strangest drive name I've ever seen :) No doubt drivelist parser is getting confused about it. It should be easy to fix though, let me try to reproduce here...

Ha I don't know how my drive ended up with that name but renaming it to something alphanumeric fixed the issue. Thank you for the quick response.

Ah, turns out this was already fixed by https://github.com/resin-io-modules/drivelist/pull/127, which didn't make it to v1.0.0-beta.17. I plan to release a next version really soon (probably today, on Monday at worst) with the fix.

Renaming it to something else should get you up and running in the mid-time :D

Hahaha, I didn't even notice the peculiar drive name, I just skimmed over that section. Doh! ;-)
