AppleCD SC: Problem Mounting with Scanner and Macintosh IIx


TOPIC -----------------------------------------

When I had an Apple Scanner and AppleCD SC attached to a Macintosh IIx, I
couldn't get the AppleCD SC to mount a disk. Instead, I'd get the standard
DIBadmount dialog box, which would ask me if I wanted to initialize the
disk. I'm certain the AppleCD SC and Apple Scanner were properly cabled
and all software correctly installed.

DISCUSSION ------------------------------------

Apple Tech Comm has seen this problem, but cannot reliably reproduce it. In
the past, we have been able to eliminate the problem by installing version 1.0
of the CD-ROM drivers, followed by reinstalling version 2.0 of the drivers.
Recently, however, we learned that the problem could be caused by a faulty
terminator. Replacing the terminator usually solves the problem.
