-
- The Mac requires that all SCSI devices have Unit Attention disabled. This
- is either done via setting some SCSI Mode Pages on the disk or with a
- small jumper on the disk's controller board. Unit Attention is entered
- during a SCSI bus reset.
-
- Look thru the documentation to see how to disable this, or ask the vendor.
-
- Disconnecting the CD-ROM will also do it :)
