I'm having problems getting my new Mac IIsi to communicate with my old Jasmine 150 Meg HD. The drive is recognized by the si, but copying in either directions gives many errors. Apple's disk repair tools cause a "system bus error" crash. I reformatted the Jasmine with the latest software I have from them (it is very difficult getting their technical folks on the phone) - namely 1.46. Does anyone know if 1.46 formats a disk that will be compatible with 6.0.7? Is there something more recent? hoping that my disk didn't go South... Steve Crandall evan.crandall@att.com

If it is terminated, remove the termination. If Apple's software recognizes the disk, try using it instead of Jasmine's. -- Matthew T.
