Hey guys. I'm admittedly not the most experienced Mac user so forgive me. I have a SCSI external Bernoulli Transportable 150 drive, and I want to try to use it with my Macintosh LC. I have it hooked into the SCSI port on the back, I've tried a few different ID numbers, and I do have a terminator in the drive (it's my only external SCSI device on the bus.)
Now I'm not sure if this would be plug-and-play and the Mac would just recognize it as a drive, or if I need to install some driver or extension or something. This is where my Mac knowledge drops off. Should the computer see there is a drive on the bus and do something, or does it need to be told what to look for? I do have four disks, and the drive seems to recognize and seek on them, so I think the drive is functional at least. If I DO need a driver disk or something, and anybody can point me in the right direction, that would be awesome too. I checked Macintosh Garden but came up empty-handed.
Any help would be much appreciated. I don't NEED to do this, but I want to see if the drive is functional and I don't have any PCs with SCSI cards.
