Using Striped Drives on Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.x Systems
The Avid editing software automatically recognizes drives that were
striped on Mac OS 9.

. You should be able to use these drives to edit and
play video. However, if you move a drive that was striped on a Mac OS X
system back to Mac OS 9.
x
, you cannot play video from the drives on
Mac OS 9.
x
. If necessary, you can set up your Mac OS 9.

system so that it
recognizes the drives. You can then copy media files from the drive to your
Mac OS 9.

drives.
To set up a Mac OS 9.x system to recognize drives that were striped
on a Mac OS X system:
1. Navigate to the following folder:
Applications/Avid Goodies/OS 9/System Folder/Extensions
2. Copy the file ~~ExpressStripe_OS9_Enablr to the Extensions folder
on your Mac OS 9 system.
3. Restart the Mac OS 9 system.
The system is now able to recognize the striped drives. You can use the
drives to copy media onto your Mac OS 9 drives.

Do not run a Mac OS 9 Avid editing application on the same system as
a Mac OS X Avid editing system. There might be conflicts between the
system files used by the two applications.
Moving Striped Drives to Another System (Macintosh Only)
In order to move striped drives to another system, you need to be able to
identify the drives that make up a particular striped set. This was easy on
Mac OS 9 because the system allowed you to use the SCSI ID order when
striping drives.
On Mac OS X, the system does not use the SCSI ID but instead uses its
internal disk
n
name (where
n
is the drive number) when creating the
striped sets. You can use Avid Storage Manager or ExpressStripe to
identify a striped set on Mac OS X.
