I have an old Jasmine DirectDrive-20 that works just fine with a
Mac Plus, but if I plug it into the external SCSI port on a Mac-II, the
machine hangs when it boots, sometime after the internal hard drive is
mounted; I interpret this to mean it's hanging when it goes to mount the
Jasmine. Usually we run the drive with no external terminator as the only
thing on the Plus's SCSI bus; I tried both with and without the terminator
on the II, but get the same results. Any idea what might be wrong?
Before people say "why would you want to put an old decrepit drive
like a Jasmine 20 on a Mac-II", we're swapping an internal 40 Meg disk for
an internal 105 and need a place to stage the contents of the old internal
disk so we can copy it to the new one; this seems easier than 25 or so 800k
floppies.
