- I have an old Jasmine DirectDrive 100 that causes Mac plus and and SE
- machines to freeze up during system startup. The symptoms are:
-
- 1) The machine boots from another disk running system seven
- 2) The startup sequence seems to be going normally until it should
- look up the jasmine drive and place its icon on the desktop.
- 3) At that time the drive light on the jasmine turns red,
- stays red, and the machine freezes up. It isn't even possible
- to move the cursor with the mouse.
-
- I tried this on two different Mac SE machines, and one Mac Plus, and
- the behaviour is the same on all machines. An SE-30 will boot
- normally, the jasmine disk comes up as usual and nothing freezes.
-
- If the bug is in the disk drive itself, it must be a rather subtle
- one, as the disk seems to be working all right on all of the machines
- above when they are running system six or lower.
-
- This is a problem as my home box is an old plus, don't plan to buy a
- new machine anytime soon, but would like to run system 7 very soon.
-
- My theory is that there is some kind of bug or at least an
- incompatibilty in the SCSI driver code in 7.0.1. that will only bite
- older machines. Does anyone know if a newer version of the system or
- some of the tuneup kits will fix this problem?
