Re: [SM] orig. SCSi drive not mounting... etc.

[Paul Corsa]

The SCSI HD and SCSI CD, if original to the computer both require third 
party drivers, either Intech or FWB, or a hack of Apple Drivers. When 
you went to the ATA100 card the new burner probably uses Apple drivers, 
as does your IDE HD. The SCSI stuff probably worked before you upgraded 
to OS9 and you didn't use it since because of the newer IDE stuff, 
right? OR- you may have termination issues on your SCSI cable or a bad 
cable? With your IDE HD and ATA 100 card, how is that drive partitioned? 
I recall some ATA100 cards require the first partition to be 8GB or 
less? Could this be another issue in your setup? Speaking of drivers, do 
you have the most current one for your IDE card? That too could cause 
problems. The USB software can also be problematic in OS9.1. I had lots 
of grief with my Logitech Optical Mouse with Mouseware drivers. 
Switching to USB Overdrive(shareware) helped a lot, but I still see some 
problems. Sherlock won't work with my USB mouse.I'd remove the trackball 
and its software, get the computer working properly, then try to 
reintroduce the trackball. Paul C

Ok, now I'm getting somewhere.
not sure where, but...
With my system restartes (due to trackball/adapter)
stopped. I learned that my cd burner was giving me
an error every time I tried to burn. In trying to
figure out that problem, I realized my orig. SCSI HD
wasn't on my desktop. Didn't think much about that
since sometimes it didn't show up, but always was
in with the startup drives. Until today, I noticed
it wasn't in the choices to startup with. So, I
looked in the apple system profiler
& it showed up there, but said not mounted.
So, I tried "mount everything", it never saw the HD,
then tried "SCSI Probe" it found the HD, but couldn't
mount it, due to it wasn not supported.
So I shut down & took out the tempo ATA100 card
(which unhooked the IDE HD I usually worked off of
along with the CD burner) Then restarted to try to
force that SCSI HD to book up! When I got a flashing
question mark, I put in a system CD, (in the cdrom drive)
shut down & restarted trying the c key then the
com,opt,shft,delt keys to no avail!
so I couldn't get it to see the drive or the system CD.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Could I possibly have a faulty power supply now,
due to all the previous trackball/adapter auto restarts?
I'm running OS 9.1 had the orig. SCSI HD & cdrom drive then
the Tempo ATA100 card so cld have the IDE HD & the CD Burner.
Thanks in advance!
