I've got a Jasmine DirectDrive 45.  As far as I can remember, I
purchased it in 1988, direct from the US.  The drive has performed
without fault, been transported from machine to machine for the last
3-4 years.

The other day I had occasion to plug the Jasmine into a Mac LC.  The
LC failed to startup (also, the LC had an internal Hard Disk), it kept
on reporting the sad mac..... hardware errors!

Is it just possible that the driver on the disk is too old and not
able to function on the LC?  Am I on the right track?   Do I need some
up to date Jasmine driver software?

I believe that the drive is a Rodime mechanism under the cover?
