Due to changes made to the USB manager in Mac OS 9.0.4 the original SIM (SCSI
Interface Module) driver provided with Belkin USB/SCSI adapter no longer functions
properly with Iomega zip or jaz drives. To address this problem we are now providing a
SHIM driver which should be used only with Iomega drives. There are three basic
differences between the SIM and the SHIM driver that the user needs to be aware of.
1. The SHIM driver relies on the Mac OS to support the drive rather than the Iomega
tools utility. To reformat the drive use the "Erase Disk" option contained in the Mac
OS "Special" pull down window.
2. The zip or jaz drive icons will appear as a floppy icon. It is recommended that you
re-title the icon, "zip drive", or "jaz drive".
3. The SHIM driver does not support daisy chaining of SCSI devices.
Hardware Installation Instructions (Do this first):
1. Turn on your Macintosh.
2. Plug your SCSI device into the Belkin USB-SCSI adapter and turn power on to the
device.
3. Plug the USB-SCSI adapter into an available USB port.
Driver Installation Instructions:
1. Locate the "Installer for Mac OS 9.04" on your installation CD.
2. Launch the installer and follow the instructions provided.
3. Locate the Belkin USB-SCSI Folder, and open to view it's contents.
