Hi guys,
following on from my scsi chain external HHD issue (the system attempted to load from the external drive over ruling my internal HHD be it unsuccessfully). Trash recommended SCSI probe utility software thinking it maybe simply a SCSI channel conflict, as it turns out the utility software picks up the external AVID HHD just fine under any channel i set it yet still nothing. I thought maybe first Aid may repair the drive but it didn’t show up within that software only the internal HHD and floppy.
1.) i don’t know if the drive is formatted for mac or if it works for that matter any ideas on how to test it?
2.) way to format it?
note; It’s a rather old and massively heavy full height HHD which also made a funky sound whilst spoiling up but settled quickly .
any ideas of a way forward would be much appreciated.
Neal
