I have in front of me a Jasmine DirectDrive 20 and a Mac IIci. If I hook the
DD20 to the IIci, the IIci gets a sad Mac at startup, if the DD20 is turned
on. If the DD20 is turned off, the IIci will start up okay, sometimes. In
neither situation can I get the DD20 to appear on the Desktop automatically;
I have to use the Jasmine cdev to mount it manually.

I don't mind (too much) having to mount the drive manually. However, if I
have to restart the IIci, I frequently get the sad mac if the DD20 is attached,
whether it's powered up or not. Obviously an inconvenient situation.

Has anyone else tried this hardware combination? The DD20 is a MiniScribe of
some sort. My Jasmine Driveware is version 1.094 -- is there a later one out?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. It's really frustrating to buy hardware
partly because of its warranty, and have the company die before the warranty
expires!

Thanks!
