I think I have found a fix which always shows the external Yamaha 4416S SCSI CDRW in 10.1.5:
- Install Networking Update 1.0 and set XPostFacto 2.2.5 to boot in verbose mode. I have also found a way to lose the CDRW: - Let XPostFacto 2.2.5 reinstall BootX and its extensions. Hmm... it really seems that the XPostFacto 2.2.5 reinstall overwrites stuff that the SCSI CDRW needs? Can this be true? It is also weird that of all the updates it seems to be the Networking Update 1.0 which brings the CDRW back again after the XPostFacto reinstall. I noticed that after installing the Networking Update 1.0, the early boot process (when there is just the gray Apple logo on the screen) prolongs considerably. Letting XPostFacto 2.2.5 reinstall BootX and its extensions shortens this time and loses the CDRW. And installing Networking Update 1.0 lengthens the boot process and brings the CDRW back again. BTW, at one point in my tests I found out that if I had my D8 camcorder connected via FireWire and switched on when the 8600 was booting, then the CDRW was always recognized by Toast 5.2 but after the XPostFacto reinstall this trick didn't seem to work anymore. Oh, so may variables to take into account! (Setup: PowerMac 8600/XLR8 G4 450, 416MB RAM, Toast Titanium 5.2, external Yamaha 4416S SCSI CDRW.
