[comp.sys.mac.hardware] Jasmine DD20 and IIci?

schabtac@boulder.Colorado.EDU (SCHABTACH ADAM) (03/22/90)

I have in front of me a Jasmine DirectDrive 20 and a Mac IIci. If I hook the
DD20 to the IIci, the IIci gets a sad Mac at startup, if the DD20 is turned
on. If the DD20 is turned off, the IIci will start up okay, sometimes. In
neither situation can I get the DD20 to appear on the Desktop automatically;
I have to use the Jasmine cdev to mount it manually.

I don't mind (too much) having to mount the drive manually. However, if I
have to restart the IIci, I frequently get the sad mac if the DD20 is attached,
whether it's powered up or not. Obviously an inconvenient situation.

Has anyone else tried this hardware combination? The DD20 is a MiniScribe of
some sort. My Jasmine Driveware is version 1.094 -- is there a later one out?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. It's really frustrating to buy hardware
partly because of its warranty, and have the company die before the warranty
expires!

Thanks!

The newest version of Jasmine Driveware should be 1.51.  I requested that
throught Jasmine's BBS and got it a few days ago.
