Yes, nomorewindows was right.
sudo modprobe sr_mod
Did the trick. I haven't been replying to this thread since it held no great signifigance at the time. Now the output is as it should be:

  • Adding 2nd hard drive(IDE 40gig)  to B&W G3 w/ 9gig SCSI drive

    Recently got a 450 B&W G3 with a 9gig SCSI ultra something drive in it already and i would like to add a 40gig IDE drive as a second. the scsi drive is hooked through a scsi card and is the main drive. i want to just add the second drive for more storage. when i plug up the drive and start up, it does not see the drive. I know i'm missing something little to get this to work, but I don't know alot of the techincal terms and meanings to ask the right questions. any help or if someone can direct me to an older article that might help would be great!!! Thanks!!

    Hi, Papa -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    Make sure the drive is jumpered correctly. There is a block of exposed pins at the same end of the drive where the power cable and data cable are attached. On those exposed pins will be one or more little plastic-looking things bridging pin pairs - these are the jumpers.
    There should be a label affixed to the drive in the vicinity of the jumper pin block; this label depicts the various configurations of where jumpers should be placed for various settings.
    For your model Mac, you should use the jumper setting for "Master". Exception - if the drive is a Western Digital brand, it may have a setting named "Single" - if so, you should use that when the drive is the only device on the bus.
    If you have not yet initialized (formatted) the drive, do so. Most drives are not usable until they have been prepared for a Mac by initializing the drive; initializing a drive places Mac drivers on it, and structures the platter for use by the OS.
    You can use OSX's Disk Utility to initialize the drive. There should be sufficient info in OSX's Help section to use Disk Utility to do that. Some items of note -
    • If you want that drive to be accessible when the machine is booted to OS 9 at some time, be sure to select the option to install OS 9 drivers.
    • Select "Mac OS Extended" as the format for the drive.

  • Pulling the scsi drive

    My G4 has an extra 18g. scsi drive inherited from my G3 and I've been told the drive is going bad. I want to remove it and leave the 120g ide drive. Is it a simple matter of unplugging the scsi drive and taking it out of the machine? I use a scsi external scanner and cd writer so need to continue that connectivity. Once I pull the scsi drive, do I need to do anything with the cables so that the external peripherals still work?
    Do I need to press the cuda switch when I remove the drive or is that done only when adding hardware?
    Thanks for your help

    I put a mechanics stethoscope on both the ide and scsi drives after hearing some unusual noise. The ide was quiet as a mouse. The scsi was screeching like crazy. I suspect the bearing or some other mechanical component was going out and it was suggested to get it out of there before it blew and caused problems with the good drive (ide). The sound the scsi drive was making sounded like a dry bushing that has lost its lubrication so I'm assuming the central bearing is on it's last leg. That particular scsi drive is probably 10 years old. The ide drive is around 4 years old.

  • SOS!! SOS!! HELP ME!!! The mobo won't load/boot windows from the SCSI Drive!!! HELP!!!

    Ok so i got the board and the crucial RAM with a new enermax 450W power supply. I am running the 1MB A64 3400+ CG on this board.
    I am using the Seagate cheetah 15.3K SCSI drive with a LSI 21320 SCSI controller
    (http://www.lsilogic.com/products/ultra320_host_bus_adapters/lsi21320.html )
    I am also running a IDE drive on the primary IDE channel set as slave.
    I went to the bios and changed the boot order to use the SCSI HD as the first boot device and proceed to intall windows XP. I pressed F6 to install the SCSI drivers and everything went fine until the reboot after all the files has been copied. I would get an error message saying something like:
    "NTLDR cannot find boot drive etc"
    I have no idea what to do...i tried everything and i am 100% sure that its not my SCSI HD or SCSI card.
    PLZZZZ HELP ME!!!!!!! PLZZZ HELP!!!!!

    Found it set your boot order to bootable add in card first in the screen shown here courtesy of HardOCP : http://www.hardocp.com/image.html?image=MTA4MjM1MDg3NWxrOFNyWHJRcTNfMl8yNl9sLmdpZg==
    That should do ya.
    Also be sure that the LSI controller is configured to use the Seagate drive to boot from. There is usually an option of which channel to boot from in the HBA BIOS.

  • OS 8.1 - Trying to partition an external scsi drive and backup data.

    Have an Apple PowerMac 6000 series minitower at work. It runs a program called 4D, that is a database we use to catalog images. Since I've been with the company, there has been no backup of the database, as an external scsi drive had died and never been replaced.
    Since the system is running OS 8.1, I wasn't sure how I could do any sort of network backup, and in the end I managed to get a new 50-pin scsi 50GB LaCie External Hard drive with the 25-pin cable to connect to the PowerMac. Connected it yesterday, and it did appear on the desktop as you'd expect.
    But when I went to point 4D to the drive, it didn't seem to recognize the file system. I tried erasing the drive, but it had the same probem. Norton Utilities is on the mac, so I tried replacing the partition. Specifically, I tried creating two partitions. One that's 40GB, that I could do 4D backups to. The other, the remaining space (about 7GB) so I could try to copy the entire drive to that partition and maybe even boot from it if the other drive failed.
    However, the drive was still mounted when I tried to repartition and it ended up causing an error. I tried rebooting, and the drive wasn't showing on the desktop, but it still wouldn't repartition. Not knowing was else to do, I low level formatted the drive, told it to write zeros to it, and then create the two partitions. Given I was doing all this on a Saturday and didn't know how long it would take, I left it running in the background to check on Monday.
    Anyone have any experience with OS 8.1? Is there a program like Carbon Copy Cloner that works with that OS? And any thoughts on what I'd need to do to get this drive working as indicated above? I started using Apple again with OS X, and it's quite a bit different than 9 and previous. Could sure use some help.

    Hi, merkman2001 -
    I would use the Apple utility Drive Setup (which comes with a normal OS 8.1 install) to initialize and partition the drive, rather than Norton or any other third-party utility.
    As far as the format type goes, select Mac OS Extended when asked.
    <hr>
    Is there a program like Carbon Copy Cloner that works with that OS?
    Generally such is not needed with OS 9 and earlier OS versions. All pre-OSX OS's and software can be copied using a Finder (drag and drop) copy process, and remain usable.
    This means that the System Folder on the internal drive can be dragged to the icon of the external drive and dropped into it. Ditto any/all additional folders, those containing the programs and documents.
    You should be able to successfully do a test boot using the freshly-copied OS on the external drive; this is the best way to verify the integrity of the copied OS.
    Can't recall if aliases were used in OS 8.1. If they were, it may be necessary to 'fix' any of them used, since the pathname contained in an alias is not corrected when it is copied to another drive - it continues to point to the original original.
    You can also copy the entire source drive to the external one in one action - drag the iccon of the internal drive to that of the external one and drop it in.
    After Finder gets done copying everything (this may take some time, so disable any sleep mode or screensaver), there will be a new folder on the external volume - this folder will be named the same as the internal drive. Inside that folder will be a copy of everything that was on the internal drive, including everything left lying around on the desktop and anything left unemptied in the Trash (these will be placed in new folders named "Desktop" and "Trash" respectively).
    In order to make that external volume bootable using the freshly copied OS, move the System Folder out of the folder it was copied into, so that it is at the root level of the drive, meaning visible in the window that appears when you first open the drive's icon.

  • Added a 2nd internal SCSI drive into my 7500/100 does not show up.

    Hi.
    I added a 2nd internal SCSI drive into my 7500/100. It does not show up on the desk top. I rebuild the desktop reset the cuda and ran SCSIProbe. The computer starts up on the newly added drive. No sign from the original drive. Please help.

    there are jumpers on the drives that need to be properly set. Both drives are set with the terminating resistor on, one needs to be off. Carefully note nthe placement of the existing jumpers then remove the jumper from the drive in the middle connector.

  • SCSI drive recognition

    I recently added drives to my G4 and moved the PCI SCSI card to a new slot. After rebooting the system now registers my 40G SCSI drive as new hardware and I cant seem to figure out how to save the info on the disk. I even moved it back to the original PCI slot, but no go! I really need to get the data off this disk, what should I do?

  • Quicksilver scsi drive size limit ?

    Hello all.
    The original 37gig SCSI drive on my Quicksilver (NOT mirror door) is beginning to sing a sad song so I am looking into replacement.
    I know there is a 128gig size limit for ATA drives in this model but is there any size limit for internal SCSI ????
    I have already added a 120gig ATA with my original 80gig ATA so I think I'm pretty well maxed out (heat and power wise) on internal ATA drives.
    Due to the cost of SCSI drives I'm thinking what I may do is buy an external LARGE firewire dive, transfer the contents of my internal SCSI drive to that firewire drive and then just use the SCSI drive as a dedicated "video capture" drive until it finally dies.
    So, besides the original question about SCSI drive size limits does anyone have anythoughts on going external firewire vs. additional internal drives?
    Thanks.

  • Ultra 10 OBP can't see SCSI drives

    I'm trying to get my Ultra 10 to boot off a SCSI drive. I've tried several controllers (SYM21002, SYM21003, and another 53c896 card) and several drives, but probe-scsi-all returns nothing. If I boot off an install CD (the CD drive is still IDE), I can see the drives and install an OS on them, but when I reboot it still can't see the drives at the ok prompt. I've tried OBP 3.31 and 3.29 with the same results in both. Any idea how I can get it to boot off a SCSI drive? Or, failing that, is it possible to boot a bootloader on an IDE drive, which then boots off the SCSI drive?

    you say you can install with scsi drives, but on restart it won't boot? what is the U10 looking for? did you try boot disk ? the U10 may be looking to boot off the network or somewhere off..
    I don't recognize the chip numbers... are they supported by Sun? I have only used Sun-branded scsi cards--- 375-0005 comes to mind...

  • Can't modunload scsi driver

    Why can't I modunload my scsi driver on Sparc Solaris 9.
    I get: Can't unload : device busy.
    I have no drives attached and the driver shows unconfigured with no drives in cfgadm.
    Same driver unloads ok on x86 Solaris 10.
    Is There a way to find out what's keeping this driver in use .
    -Rob

    Search the forum for dlink...we have done several driver hunts for dlinks and they ended up at different pages because of the variety of sources the cards originate from. This will help you more than me pointing you to one place.

  • Internal scsi drives on mac pro?

    I have just received my Mac Pro, which will soon be put into use as the center of a commercial audio recording facility. I was under the impression that the SCSI drives I had been using in my aging MDD dual 1 GHZ would be port-able to the new box. But, after snooping around a little bit on the boards here, and looking into the machine itself, this appears not to be possible.
    Is it true that ONLY SATA drives are compatible as internal drives in the new Macs?
    If so, then I need to sort out my new drive configuration for the studio machine. For better or worse, my studio uses ProTools, which does not support RAID of any sort. So I'm left looking at sharing the internal SATA bus with the system drive, going with an external FW800 drive, or investing in an external SCSI drive (ugh).
    Any thoughts would be welcome.
    Thanks,

    following up on this thread -
    I purchased the external chassis recommended above and have compared transfer rates with the somewhat unscientific copy time test, from the desktop of the apple SATA boot drive to and between various other drives. It appears that the internal SATA 7200RPM drive I bought from OWC is outperforming the external (10000RPM) SCSI drives I have mounted in the enclosure. This seems odd to me. I'm not sure if the bus speed is being ratcheted down to accommodate the cabling (SCSI 3) or what. I appear to be getting roughly one third of the 160MB/S limit on the Ultra160 drive (the buffer size is 8MB on this drive as opposed to 16MB on the 7200 drive).
    Theoretically, the bus throughput is higher on the SATA bus, but I thought that would be outweighed by the drive performance - that appears not to be true. It also appears that the SATA drive is FASTER on the duplication process than the SCSI drive, which leads me to believe that the rotation speed is being trumped by something else - buffer size perhaps?
    Any thoughts would be welcome. Here are the results of my testing.

  • How to solve  when we get error sid missing?

    how to solve  when we get error sid missing?

    Hi,
      If you get  SID error means, There is no reference for the particular data in the Master data of that characteristic.
        so, Load that value in the Master data of the characteristic you wont get that sid error.
    Ex: When loading data to ods if it is giving sid for country withvalue ('india'), so india is not there in the master data of the characteristic Country. You need to enter the value India in mster data table of the characteristic.
    Otherwise you can choose option ' Update without master data' or something similar to that in infpackage or dtp.

  • Questions re. SCSI drive with older Macbook Pro/FCP

    Hello:
    I am editing ProRes video files (and a lot of them) in FCP. My current external Firewire drive is sooo slow.
    I want to upgrade to a really fast SCSI drive but my Macbook Pro doesn't seem to have a SCSI card/connector.
    So two questions...
    1) What SCSI drive would be best (what works good for you)
    2) Can  install a SCSI card/interface into my Macbook Pro myself?
    Many thanks

    SCSI? Sure about that?  That's a darn old interface.  I think there are newer versions of it, but they will not work with MacBook Pros.  Laptops have limited options.  Firewire 800 (FW400 on some models)...and if you happen to have an Express34 slot, you can get an eSATA adapter.  And some raid makers make Express34 connections for their SAS drives.  But eSATA is about as fast as you will get on a lappy.  And that is pretty fast.

  • I have tried many times to install a SSD drive by using optical drive tray, my MBP is early 2011, intel serise 6,  checked on webpage, and someone say SSD could be installed on HDD drive, I guess it could be solved by driver, anyone good idea?

    Hi, MBP friends, any ideas for this problem? I tried hard and checked the hardware we have, and it hardly to say the problem from hardware, instead I am thinking it could be solved by driver update, or someone who is good on computer language that could help with the problem.
    My computer is early 2011, with intel serise 6 and sata 3 acceptable. I dont know why the opitical drive can not support ssd drive instead.
    need help, I really dont want to put my SSD driver to HDD driver, and move HDD driver to optical driver.

    well, i have got information from website, and it says it will be harmful to hdd driver set in optical area coz there is no vibration protection function.
    i have checked the system, and it says the sata speed is the same 6G and chip intel series 6. it should be the same speed, right?
    I am thinking that the chip is the same and mortherboard is the same, the cable is similar as well, why it doesnt work? driver issue? OSX issue? or software issue? firmware?
    or simply to say, if i am trying to setup two ssd driver into MBP, it has to be one in opitcal driver area. how could work?
    thanks... still in puzzle.
    right now, i have reinstall the osx into ssd by usb external, and install it back with opitcal tray, however, when i turn on the computer, the system can not be logged in from SSD, and computer can not read SSD driver, and it says it must be formatted or push out.
