? Is it plugged in? Yes, it spins up for a short time on insertion of diskette or plugging in.
? Is it USB 1.1 compatible? \t\tI believe it is.
? Does it show up in your System Profiler? Yes Mitsumi USB FDD
? Are the drivers installed? SmartDisk site: No driver is needed for Macintosh OS 9.0 and above since it is built into the operating system. Going back to the SmartDisk Site and looking more closely one is referred to Apple USB Mass Storage driver download.
Unfortunately the install aborts with the following error message: There is a problem with a program file. The format of the Check Environment plugin is incompatible with the version of this program.

"When I connect an external USB diskette drive it does not appear on the desktop as I would expect. Even if I wait 15 minutes.
It is a SmartDisk FDUSB-TM2 with G4 17"" PowerBook. What do I need to do to get this thing going?
Well, we need a little more information.
- Does it need external power?
- Are the drivers installed?
- Did you put a disk in it?
- What format are your diskettes?
- Is it plugged in? (I sometimes forget this myself.
)
- Is it USB 1.1 compatible?
- Does it show up in your System Profiler?
