Got a bit of a weird one...
Picked up a firewire enclosure to use with my 3.5" IDE MO drive and it works just fine on my iBook G4. Read/write, mount, copy, eject, whatever.
But when I plug it into the Pismo, It seems to be sending bizarre commands to the drive. It did this with one of my USB-SATA adapters (run with an IDE-SATA adapter), but not with my other one (run with the same IDE-SATA board)
It behaves like this in os9 and Sorbet Leopard, and in the Pismo's firmware boot selector. Again, it works perfectly on my iBook G4 with 10.4. I have booted the pismo over Firewire before using the iBook as a target disk.
Am I missing something here?
Is there some weird external disk firmware bug with the Pismo I need to know about?
It does this with any drive i hook up to the firewire adapter, btw. CDROM, IDE HDD, and this MO drive.
