Q: Macintosh Plus SCSI Hard Drive Problem
I have a Macintosh Plus with a Micronet Branded SCSI Hard Drive. I have a terminator for the drive. Once hooked up to the computer, I turn the drive on, then turn the Macintosh on. The Macintosh displays the blinking question floppy disk, as if the drive was not even connected. On the drive, the red light flashes for a split-second, every second or so. The green light stays off. The computer does not show an X on the floppy disk icon. I boot from the Micronet SCSI Utility Floppy disk, and the Hard Drive does not show up on the desktop. I go into the Utility, and it scans for drives. When it gets to id 6, which the drive is set to, I get an error, followed by the message "The Drive does not support Inquiry Command." What is inquiry command? I tried every drive id, in both SCSI ports on the drive. The terminator is properly connected. Is there something that I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Aidan
