Set drive to 0 and connect drive to box SCSI cables I had read when trying to mount a SCSI drive this way to set the drive to 0, Termination seems to be dependent on drive manufacturer.

MAC G5 (OSX 10.4.10) had no trouble mounting the Jaz USB module without a supplied driver. In fact the one I bought had stickers over the IOMEGA, disk supplied for PC, not MAC. The USB to SCSI 2 CABLE - IOMEGA Jaz, reseller is no name brand. The configuration of the external drive went like this:ĬOMPUTER to (USB to SCSI 2 cable) to (peripheral box SCSI2 external to SCSI internal) I am not responsible for any loss, injury or damage of any sort. But I make no warrenties whatsoever that all this information is correct or complete. I suggest you review the information you get with your controller the information linked above the information below.

He did not seem to have problems with software drivers.
Joe came up with a method which seemed to work, to resolve these issues.

("Drivers" for Windows will not work with OS X or OS 9 on Macs drivers for OS 9 will not likely work with OS X.)

When you add "old" stuff, like SCSI drives on a G5 Mac, OS X (or your particular operating system) may or may not "expect" those devices, and not know how to use them, unless you find and "install" a device driver. All this is generally automatic for NEW devices you add. Then software programs you run, can use those and other devices on your Mac in a consistent and correct fashion. That software allows and supports the operating system to communicate and use the added device. Macs and Windows PC's have pieces of software which are either part of the operating system (Windows or OS X) or which are provided with devices you add to your computer. I discuss these considerations on my Mac drives Web page.Īnother issue is a software issue called "drivers". It's done on the LAST device at the far end of a chain of SCSI devices, or the ONLY device. The other issue is called SCSI "termination", which is something needed when you connect one or more SCSI devices to a SCSI controller. "Addressing" is determined by jumpers on the SCSI device. A SCSI controller can connect to and control ONE to SEVEN other SCSI devices, so each one must have a unique "address" from zero to six. ONe issue is called "SCSI address" or "SCSI ID". There are issues about setting up SCSI hard drives. Those are the four-pin connectors also shown on the back of the hard drives. The drives also need DC power, and the cabinet has an A/C power supply to provide the power through standard DC power connectors. Here is a photo of the back of the SCSI drives which shows their connectors. Inside the cabinet, the SCSI-2 connectors are on a cable with a 50-pin connector which mates to the SCSI-1 type drives used in most older Macs. The SCSI end of the controller has a SCSI-2 "male" connector that connects to a SCSI cabinet with a complimentary SCSI-2 "female" connector. I've seen such devices for sale on Internet auction sites and by some Web-based computer product vendors a Web search like "USB to SCSI controller" will find some available, for well under $100 as of 2008. The disk supplied for it was for PC, not MAC.". In fact the one I bought had stickers over the IOMEGA. The controller he found, was as he put it, "a USB to SCSI 2 CABLE - IOMEGA Jaz, reseller is no name brand. As of Feb 2008, I don't provide the USB to SCSI controllers or devices I can't buy them cheaper than YOU can, so I can't sell them at a competative price.
A more technical SCSI Web page is at this Web page which has more technical information.

That page also has SCSI hard drives, ZIP drives, and CD-ROMS, and brief discussions about these devices. I provide external SCSI drive cabinets on this Web page. He then successfully connected his G5, the USB to SCSI controller, the case and his SCSI drive. Joe came back to me, to provide an external case for his SCSI drives which would have physical connections to match the USB to SCSI controller's SCSI-2 connector. I told him I don't offer USB to SCSI products, so he looked around the Web and found such a product. The older Macs of the 1990's and earlier used SCSI drives. Like most modern Macs, it does not have a SCSI controller to operate SCSI drives, it uses "IDE" or "ATA" type drives. In Feb 2008, a customer named Joe Hunt contacted me about connecting his older Mac's SCSI drives to his G5 Mac. To return to my Mac SCSI drives page, follow this link. I also mention FireWire to SCSI adapters. Most photos and the description of methods are courtesy of Joe Hunt. Most recent revision for this page dated JOn this Web page I describe a USB to SCSI conroller, and how a customer connected his G5 Mac to his older Mac's SCSI drives.
