Bernoulli Extensions

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?

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:

If this doesn't work, let us know, there are other things you can try too.

the bernoulli is technically not a SCSI hard drive and the mac sees it as a removable device.

When you say Iomegatools doesn't see it, do you have the Iomega Bernoulli driver installed?

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.

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.

That worked. Thank you so much.
