SCSI drives missing OS X

[visvid]

Hi there,

I have a user with a G4 with OS 9.0.2 installed. I have installed OS X on top of 9, we did not have the option to partition the disk as it already has a lot of applications on.

Installation went ok , however I now notice that the 2 x 35 Gb SCSI drives are not showing on the desktop. I have looked in system profiler and they are not there.

I am only seeing HD0 and HD1 off the internal ATA2 , any ideas on how to either refresh the parameters or does X have a problem reading SCSI ? ( A reboot has not down this )

I am currently downloading the patch version 10.1.15


Cheers

Just to update this first post: system profiler see this as a Acard 850UF , I have spoken to apple today and they say it is a s/ware issue with acard. I have looked at their web site and cannot see anything about drivers for 10.1.5. Any ideas ?

Can you boot into os9 and have the drives come up ?
if yes,...back them up and try to re-format them.


are the drives HFS or HFS+ ?

I had a look through the forum and followed the suggestion off another question. Turns out the card is a Promatic ATA 33 which is not support by their s/w. You have to buy a new card for it to workin X. System profiler says Acard, which had me looking at

http://www.acard.com

which does make scsi cards, allvery confusing. So we will revert back to 9 for all storage drives to be seen, plus find FCP ( Final Cut Pro) does not work in X keeps asking to go to classic mode.
