Technically SCSI devises should be attached when the machine boots.
I have used an app in OS 9 called "Mt. Everything" which is a small control panel that mounts devices. As far as I know there's no OS X app to mount a SCSI drive without a restart, maybe someone else on the list can point you to an app that works for you. You could possibly try Mt. Everything in classic mode to see if it works.
When I attach any SCSI device to my OS X Mac I just shut it down, attach the drive and boot it up. Any other method may cause problems and if you are doing back-up you don't want any possible issues at all. Anything worth backing up is worth doing it the right way.
HTH,
Ron

How is your HD attached ? SCSI, USB or FW ?

Hello,
I use a G3 mt with OS 10.2.8 and an external HD as a backup.
In the past, I have switched to OS 9.2 and used Hard Disk Toolkit when I wanted to mount the external drive to do some backup work.
How can I mount the HD while staying in OS 10.2.8?
Thanks
Wilton
Sorry about that. It's attached by SCSI.
