Re: self powered fire wire drive
I just bought a similar one..I cant find the make though..
on OS 9.1 it shouldnt require istallation. Does it get power form the firewire? Is the drive set on Master Mode? |

Re: self powered fire wire drive
I think generally you want the jumper on the drive set to "single" which on many drives means you just remove the jumper altogether. If you've tried every combination, you should have gotten it to pop up, though. Hmmm...

Re: self powered fire wire drive
What utility did you use to format the drive? You should use Drive Setup. I usually have to put the drive inside the computer to do this, and then I move it to the FW enclosure afterwards.

Re: self powered fire wire drive
Sorry, I didn't see the ibook part. If the drive has not yet been formatted, then you could always borrow someone's G3 or G4 to format the drive using the Drive Setup utility.
