It's the last thing I need to fully restore my first computer, Mac Plus with a Jasmine DirectDrive 20.
Thanks!

I'm also looking for the DriveWare.

Absolutely, I have the original disks. Both of you send me your email addresses in a PM.

Thanks for sending them, but they are for older DirectDrive and InnerDrive (fixed disk) products. It seems Jasmine's removable-disk MegaDrive is newer than your drivers. The quest continues.

Sorry about that. Someone will have it.

Victory!
I was inspired to try fiddling with the Jasmine MegaDrive again on Saturday. To my amazement, I got the drive to show up in SCSI Probe, then a little later got the first disk cartridge to mount on the desktop. About a dozen disks were successfully copied with no I/O errors. They were last used in 1994, according to the modification dates. The Jasmine driver is stored on the disks themselves, so no additional software was necessary.
I think my problems earlier were from SCSI Voodoo, as I had to switch my terminator and SCSI cable on the back of the Jasmine box.
This has been a 10 year recovery project, as I originally got these MegaDisks (they are OEM of DTC TakeTen) back in March 2009, and only got the requisite drive in November 2015.

Congratulations! I know this was a long-time thing for you! If you now can actually see the driver, it may be beneficial to copy it and post it even if it is supposedly stored on the disks.

I used Disk Copy 6.x on a G3 to image these disks. I don't think that it got the driver, so I'll have to make a whole-disk copy later on. I'm not sure if these disks will mount under OS X.
Iomega Zip drives and hard drives all have a software driver outside the normal volume space, so it turns out that these Jasmine MegaDisks are no different.

Who makes the mechanism? (Is it that DTC?). I’ve never heard of anything else from that era besides syquest and Bernoulli.
