Someone just gave me one of these but I can't get it to mount and work as a drive in Mac OS. Device is recognised and the SCSI bus is OK, it just doesn't seem to want to format in anything. Are there drivers for this drive anywhere than anyone knows of? Silverlining 2.2.1 recognises it and can communicate with it but can't format the cartridge or mount it.
It's a bit of an oddball drive really. I had to build a dip switch bank for it because it has a very strange jumper system, and is designed to use either a dip bank or a separate jumper assy. on a tail. Needless to say there are a few options for the dip bank. They are as follows:
1 ID 0 Setting SCSI ID
2 ID 1 Setting SCSI ID
3 ID 2 Setting SCSI ID
4 GND Ground
5 Reserved Must be open
6 SCSI Device Type OPEN: Device type is 07H (Optical) SHORT: to GND: Device type is 00H (Direct access)
7 Parity Check OPEN: Parity check enable SHORT: to GND: Parity check disable
8 Host Computer selection OPEN: PC other than Apple Macintosh SHORT: to GND: Apple Macintosh
9 Internal Terminator OPEN: Internal terminator is enabled SHORT: to GND: Internal terminator is disabled
10 GND Ground
11 For SLED Current sink for Busy LED
12 +5 V DC Current source for Busy LED
Any ideas?
