| Posted by: CelGen on 2011-10-26 17:52:39 I'm yrying to get a Bernoulli 230 drive working with my macs but while the system can see the drive it can't mount anything or even complain about the disk being unformatted and such. Iomegatools does not see it either. Is there a utility specific to the Bernoulli I require? | |
| Posted by: Dennis Nedry on 2011-10-26 18:00:20 I don't believe that the Mac will ask you to initialize unless a Mac hard disk driver is on the hard drive and working properly. The driver is something that gets put on the drive behind-the-scenes when you format it with a hard drive formatting program. If this is a SCSI hard drive, try formatting the drive with the patched HD SC Setup from Gamba: Download: ftp://grijan.cjb.net:21000/macintosh/Software/Utilities/hd_sc_setup_735-patched.sea.bin ( Source: http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/hd.html ) If this doesn't work, let us know, there are other things you can try too. | |
| Posted by: CelGen on 2011-10-27 11:23:13 the bernoulli is technically not a SCSI hard drive and the mac sees it as a removable device.  | |
| Posted by: protocol7 on 2011-10-27 12:19:50 When you say Iomegatools doesn't see it, do you have the Iomega Bernoulli driver installed? | |
| Posted by: CelGen on 2011-10-27 13:58:07 Exactly that. I do not have an extension installed and it appears that it's not included with iomega tools. I need to find out where to get it. | |
| Posted by: protocol7 on 2011-10-27 14:09:04 There's a "Iomega Bernoulli" driver listed on Mac Driver Museum, but the link is dead. I did grab a copy at some stage though. Here it is. I guess it has support for the drives built-in. | |
| Posted by: CelGen on 2011-10-27 23:14:15 That worked. Thank you so much. | |
| Posted by: protocol7 on 2011-10-28 05:15:15 Great 🙂 | |
| Posted by: Jeffe7FQ on 2022-03-16 15:32:03 I realize this is a very old thread… but we're talking about even older computer equipment, so… If you insert a disk/cartridge in the Bernoulli drive and then reboot the Mac, the system will (should) recognize it without the driver/extension. This is similar to how you don't need a driver for a hard drive to be recognized. It's been a while, but I don't remember if the disk had to be formatted for Mac for this to work. I kinda' think it wasn't necessary, but I'm not sure. (And I don't have the equipment easily available to test.) I also don't remember if using this trick gave the drive full functionality. As in, I'm sure you could eject the mounted disk, but I'm not sure if you re-insert it – or another disk – it would mount. | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2022-03-17 09:09:00 You'd need to use SCSI Probe, Anubis Utility, HDT Mounter, or some other similar SCSI utility. Sometimes it well let you "Init" a removable cartridge so you don't need specific drivers, then have it auto-mount at startup. But, yeah, having the drivers is useful so you don't have to fiddle with utilities that don't always work. | |
| Posted by: ArmorAlley on 2022-03-17 09:42:17 Iomega Driver 3.5 should do it but the patched HD SC Setup is a better route. | |
| Posted by: Cory5412 on 2022-03-24 22:15:31 Bernoulli carts aren't really hard disks or even fixed disks, will patched HD SC Setup set up a removable cartridge so it can be ejected and a new one can be inserted and mounted automatically? | |
