I recently acquired a nice external SCSI drive - an NEC Multispin 3xe cassette-loading CD drive. My problem is that no Mac I have will mount any disc in the drive.
Now I'm 100% sure the drive works. Insert an audio cd (actually I was using a CD-R) and it plays fine. Once it's connected via SCSI, the Mac successfully detects it and there are no ID conflicts. The problem comes with mounting the cd in the drive.
Both of my SCSI capable macs (LC 575 and Performa 6300CD) exhibit this same problem. It leads me to believe that the NEC drive requires some special driver software to work. Would anyone know of it?
