| "Unsupported" Quantum ProDrive 40S |
Posted by: raoulduke on 2015-02-22 21:20:02
The 40S slowly starts to spin, there are a few short bursts of reading for a system folder.
When I popped in a 7.6 disk tools disk, Drive Setup says the drive is "unsupported" and prevents initialization. SCSI Probe detects it but can't mount it. Patched HD SC fails to find a suitable drive. And Disk First Aid only detects the floppy drive. [None of this changes, except the additional recognition in SCSI Probe, when I replace the CD drive midway in the chain.]
The current jumper settings are EP (enable parity) per the preset, and I put a jumper on A0 after the third or fourth attempt - no effect. Any thoughts?

Have you tried Lido, FWB, or Anubis?

I don't know what those are but I will.

Try disabling Parity.
By any chance, do you know what sort of system the drive was pulled from?

SE/30. I pulled it.

Oh. My assumption is you'd gotten this known-working from somewhere and were having trouble making a Mac recognize it. If it was already installed in the SE/30 I'd guess it's just broken.

Disabling parity had no effect. I'll try the utilities mentioned next.
Gorgonops, my first thought was also that it was just broken, except it spins and is recognized. I know nothing of the SE/30's history or condition from before I pulled it.
