#Amax IV and GVPscsi
4 messages in this thread
You won't be able to use AMAX IV's SCSI manager support with any device that
accesses the SCSI at low level (which is most all CD-ROM drives, ALL SCSI
scanners, SCSI printers, SCSI film recorders, etc.) This is why I put a real
MAC SCSI interface on the EMPLANT hardware.
Yes I can use my scanner with Emplant but I can't use the CD-ROM. Sometimes I
can see the CD-ROM on the desktop but when I try to open it or launch a
software which resides on the CD-ROM the emultation or the computer crashs !
Excepted one time where I can obtain the first menu ( but it was 11 pm and I
stopped to sleep 🙁 ) ( I have the Deluxe Emplant of course and all is
connected to Emplant SCSI ) I'll try soon again …
What CD-ROM driver and CD-ROM drive are you using? If the scanner works, that
verifies the SCSI interface itself is working. I would say the driver software
is the culprit… or termination.
On my last try the HD was not working too 🙁 I use the last driver for CD from
Apple. When I tried to use the CD-ROM the computer crashs but not always during
the same operation. About termination I tried 4 terminators : one from Apple,
one was an active terminator. The two others came with devices !
