The other SCSI devices besides mass storage device should be recognized by the system automatically, but they will not be mounted on the desktop. If the SCSI device is a scanner, it will be recognized by scanning software. If the device is a tape drive, it will be recognized by backup software. If the device is a CD burner, it will be recognized by burner software.
(Note: Even if the device is recognized by the system, if the software doesn’t support firewire interface or doesn’t support the device itself, the device will not work.)
On Mac OS X, we currently recommend following softwares
For Scanner: VueScan (Hamrick Software)
For Tape drive: Retrospect 5 or above(EMC Dantz), BRU(TOLIS Group)
For CD burner: Toast 5 or above(Roxio)
If the software which comes with the SCSI device doesn’t work, try other software, too. Because the software which comes with the SCSI device may support only SCSI interface.
If the SCSI device is not recognized by the software, refer to Chapter 4.
