[Macpartners] Plextor and OS 10.3.7

[Kerem B Limon]

Jay--

Does the 12/10/32'S' stand for SCSI? If so, does the device show up as part of
the SCSI tree in Apple System Profiles (Apple Menu | About This Mac | More
Info...)? If not, are you sure the connector is snugly plugged in?

If you still have Classic Mac OS bootable on the machine, it's worth trying to
boot into that and checking there to ensure it is an OS-specific issue, and not
hardware. SCSIProbe 5.2 from Adaptec under Classic would be a good tool to
check with (don't have a download link handy, but you can Google for it).

PS: <rant> Apple really needs to implement something like System Restore for
things like this. We are experiencing weird problems with various networked
applications with each update that comes out. </rant>
