I Think Different
I have a 30 gig hardrive that I used with os 9 and when I swiched to X it didn't come up on the desk top as I would have expected. I found the system profiler and I think I see something on the usb heirarchy that could be my hard drive but it has a lot of unknowns. I'll put the actual text from the system profiler:
(onSpec Electronics Inc.)
Product ID: 256 ($100): USB Disk
Vendor: OnSpec Electronics Inc.
Driver version: Not available
Driver name: Not available
Power (mA): 500 ($1f4)
Release number: 80.0
Serial number 006.........
so my question is how do I access this volume? it sees it as connected but it doesn't show up on my desktop. The thing that looks fishy to me is the driver names not being available. I don't know where OnSpec comes from because its one of the blueberry shaded hard drives with a big "Club Mac" on the side and the sticker says Quantum Fireball but it could be made by OnSpec (it was a gift I'm not sure where it was purchased.)
Can anyone please tell me if I need new drivers and where to get them or maybe if you just tell me what your's looks like I will know what to do. I'm not compleatly stupid when it comes to macintosh computers, I'm just stumped here. I would be very greatful if anyone could give pointers to my delima because I doubt I'm the only one with an external hard drive running os X. Thanks all

I have a Blueberry 266 imac with 160 ram and (temporarly out of service) 30 meg hard drive. anything else you want to know email me at troykoelling@hotmail.com
