Connecting 11 4. Connecting with a Computer This drive unit connects to a computer through a SCSI ca- ble. There are two types of connection depending on whether or not an additional SCSI device is to be used. These two cases are discussed in this section. Note: There are several physical forms of SCSI connectors. Check the SCSI connector of the co[...]

12 NOTE: The cable included in this package is a D-Sub25 to 50-pin full-pitch, intended for use with most IBM PC/A T compatible computers. Macintosh users may require a D-Sub25 to D-Sub25 SCSI cable, available at most computer stores. 4-2 Using with other SCSI devices Since the SCSI standard supports connection to one computer and up to seven SCSI [...]

Also, notice the SCSI IDs for Macintosh computers range from 0 to 7, the numbers on the SCSI switch are 0 through 9. If 8 and 9 on the switch are selected, IDs 0 and 1 are assigned, respectively . For IBM PC/A T compatible computers SCSI IDs [...]

Operating 15 5. Basic Operations This section describes the operation relating to PC cards and PC card sets. SmartMedia SSFDC cards (like Minolta's Image Memory Card RM-2S and RM-4S) can be used in the CD-10 card drive when used with an adapter, such as the PC Card Adapter CA-1S. When used together , the adapter and SmartMedia card are called [...]

16 first and then the PC card icon appears on the monitor . This is the “mounted” state, which enables read and write operations for the PC card set. The time required between card insertion and mounting depends on the card. Usually , the PC card set can be mounted within several sec- onds. (3) If the PC card or SmartMedia card is not formatted[...]
