SCSI device issues and fixes in 10.2 System
If anyone else is having trouble getting their SCSI devices, which worked perfectly under 10.1.5, to function in Jaguar, they may be interested in the following tips:
  • External SCSI CD writers, such as my Lacie 6x, on an Adaptec PCI SCSI card may need this SCSI CD-R fix, which somehow gets round a new way Jaguar accesses the SCSI chain. You may need to install the fix, reinstall the Adaptec drivers then shut down and restart to get it to work, this worked for me.

  • If you have a SCSI scanner connected to an Adaptec PCI SCSI card in your Mac which has mysteriously refused to be detected since moving to Jaguar, you may be interested in a brilliant little plug-in called Silverfast from Lasersoft Imaging. Version 6 is in the process of being rolled out for all their supported scanners and works great in Jaguar.
Editor's additions:
  • VueScan also works around a SCSI scanner bug in Jaguar for the scanners it supports.

  • Rumor has it that 10.2.1 makes all of this moot as it fixes whatever the problem was, but we won't know that for certain until the update is released.
In the interim, some combination of the above fixes may solve the issue on your machine.

10.2.1: Still can't burn CD's in finder
Authored by: andrewz on Sep 19, '02 01:04:51PM

I have a LaCie SCSI CD-R drive. With 10.1, I was able to burn CD's in the Finder. When I installed 10.2, the computer no longer detected my drive as a CD-R, and System Profiler reported it as a CD-ROM. Updating my Adaptec card's firmware allowed me to at least use it with Toast. The patch mentioned above had no effect.

When I installed 10.2.1, System Profiler started referring to my drive as a "CD Write Once", but Disc Burning remained unsupported. Now when I insert a blank disc, Mac OS X asks which application I would like to open. If I select Finder, it politely says that my drive isn't supported. This is, certainly, a better user experience than "This disc isn't readable, do you want to eject it?" Now I can configure my Mac to launch Toast when I insert a CD-R.

Has anyone else with a SCSI CD-R drive been able to burn CD's in the Finder under 10.1 but not under 10.2.1?
