3-2. Mac OS X
If the SCSI device is a mass storage device like a hard drive or a removable
drive, go to Chapter 3-2-1.
If the SCSI device is not a mass storage device like a scanner device ora tape
drive, go to Chapter 3-2-2.
3-2-1. Mass Storage Device ( ie. hard drive, removable
drive )
Mass storage device with the FR1SX should be recognized by the system
automatically. If the device is a fixed hard drive and it is formatted properly, it
will be mounted on the desktop. If the device is a removable disk and the media
is formatted properly, the media will be mounted on the desktop.
Fixed drive
If the SCSI device is still not recognized by the system, refer to Chapter 4.
Removable media
17
3-2-2. Scanner device, Tape drive, CD/DVD burner, etc.
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.
18
3-3. Mac OS 9
If the SCSI device is a mass storage device like a hard drive or a removable
drive, go to Chapter 3-3-1.
To use following device or software, go to Chapter 3-2-2.
1. If TWAIN driver for scanner has only SCSI API.
2. The Disk Utility software which comes with a removable drive that has only
SCSI API.(ie. ORB drive)
3. If the writing software for CD burner doesn’t support Firewire.
4. The device driver for the SCSI device supports only SCSI interface.
3-3-1. Mass Storage Device ( ie. hard drive, removable
drive )
Mass storage device with the FR1SX should be recognized by the system
automatically. If the device is a fixed hard drive and it is formatted properly, it
will be mounted on the desktop. If the device is a removable disk and the media
is formatted properly, the media will be mounted on the desktop.
If the SCSI device is still not recognized by the system, refer to Chapter 4.
19
3-3-2. B’sCrew SIM driver
If the driver of the SCSI device or the software which comes with the SCSI
device supports only SCSI API / SCSI interface, you can use B’sCrew SIM
driver.
B’sCrew SIM driver works as shown above.
Note that the B’sCrew SIM driver runs on MacOS 9 only. It doesn’t work on
MacOS X.
20
The B’sCrew SIM driver has following restrictions:
1. The SIM Driver mode must be set enable(Default setting is enable). You can
set or reset this mode with the SCSI Configuration utility. Regarding the Util-
ity, refer to Chapter X.
2. The SIM driver doesn’t support Firewire Plug and Play, Hot Swapping
because the original SCSI API doesn’t include these features.
3. As the SIM driver hooks the standard SCSI APIs and substitute for Firewire
API, some SCSI applications or drivers which don’t use standard SCSI APIs
may not work properly.
4. The SIM driver doesn’t support system boot from a SCSI device connected
to the FR1SX.
Macintosh
21
Follow the instructions to install the B’sCrew SIM driver.
1. To get the SIM driver, you have to download it from our Registered User
page. Before downloading, you have to register the FR1SX. Go to the User
Registration
and select B's Crew SIM driver.
2. After downloading, double-click it and follow the instructions.
3. When message screen says “install was successful”, click [Restart].
4. B’sCrew SIM FireREX1 is copied in the [Extensions] folder. If the B’sCrew
SIM FireREX1 is not needed, you can disable it from the Extensions Man-
ager.
If the SCSI device is not recognized by the software, refer to Chapter 4.

You can set the delay time for some SCSI devices which hang up if SCSI bus
reset is issued right after the FR1SX gets powered.
Delay time between SCSI bus reset and SCSI command (sec.)
You can set the delay time for some SCSI devices which hang up if SCSI
command is issued right after SCSI bus reset.
23
Macintosh
Delay time until 1394 transaction start (sec.)
Default value is 4. If START UNIT command is disabled(Default), it
indicates the delay time to start 1394(firewire) transaction. If START UNITcommand is enabled, it indicates the delay time for the next command after
being issued Start/Stop Unit command. Some SCSI devices cannot take any
SCSI command right after Start/Stop Unit command is issued.
Enable SCSI bus reset
Default is enabled. If it is enabled, SCSI bus reset is issued. If disabled, SCSI
bus reset is not issued.
Enable START UNIT command (Start/Stop UNIT command)
Default is disabled. Some SCSI devices don’t spin up if Start/Stop unit
command is not issued.
Enable parity check
Default is enabled. If the SCSI device doesn’t have parity check function, it
should be disabled.
Target SCSI ID.
Default value is AUTO. You can specify the target SCSI ID.
Max Payload Size (IEEE1394)
Default value is 1024. You can set Max byte size in transferring IEEE1394
data block. Max size is 2048 Bytes. You should set this value to 1024 for
Blue&White PowerMac G3.
