Greetings, all. An old MicroNet external SCSI drive has recently come into my possession that I want to use for my SE. I'm having trouble mounting/formatting it for use. It seems that it had originally been a Macintosh formatted drive, but was re-formatted as a DOS drive.
Surprising to me, I found that MicroNet still had mounting/formatting software available for download so I could get the drive to be recognized by the SE. When I run the MicroNet software it seems to find the external SCSI drive on every open SCSI-ID including the one I've set the drive to. If I select the SCSI-ID I've physically set on the drive to install the controller software and format the drive it hangs. Forcing me to quit the application. Once I do that, the Finder "Initialize disk" comes up, but hangs also forcing me to quit that as well. I've tried using Mount Everything and a software SCSI probe to try and figure out why the drive won't mount/format to no avail. Mount Everything and the probe also show the external SCSI drive on every available SCSI-ID including the one it's physically set to. I've also tried the same sets of software on my SE/30 and a 6100/60 with the same results. I think I have the drive properly terminated with what I believe to be a pass-through Centronics/SCSI-1 50-pin M/F connector (Note: this connector is NOT a cable), but I'm not sure it's a SCSI terminator. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! -Jon, Battle On! -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
