Ok, let me elaborate on this, by answering several questions that people
are asking me?

Q: What type of Mac am I on?
A: Macintosh Classic, 1 MB RAM, internal 1.4M floppy, no second or hard drive
   I've also tried this on the following systems:
    - Mac SE, old model, two 800K floppies, no hard drive, 1 MB RAM
    - Mac SE/30, internal 80MB Quantum drive (SCSI 0), 4MB RAM, 1.4MB floppy

Q: Length of SCSI cable?
A: Between computer <--> drive, I'd say roughly 2-3 feet, maybe 4.  Shielded,
   to the best of my knowledge.

Q: What version of system software?
A: I've tried using the drive under 6.0.3, 6.0.4, 6.0.5, and 6.0.7
   with the same results (i.e. nothing).

Q: Do I have an internal HD?
A: Nope.

Q: Manufacturer or drive inside DataFrame?
A: No idea.  Don't even ask me to open it up to find out, either.

Q: INITs, Driver software, etc.?
A: No INITs.  SuperMac's Manager 4.1E used to initialize/test drive,
   TapeDriver 3.0 is in the system folder (to make the built-in tape
   drive act like a floppy), nothing else.  Minimal system in all cases.

Q: Terminator arrangement?
A: The DataFrame has two SCSI ports in the back.  I have a SCSI connector,
   and have tried using the drive with the SCSI cable in the left and the
   right SCSI port, with the terminator in the other port.  Either way,
   no go.

Any more questions?  Feel free to ask.
