#Syquest problems
I have just installed a Syquest 88meg which I acquired from another Amiga user
in this forum. I am having problems with writing to it and then reading what I
wrote. GIF files which were copied to it couldn't be displayed by anyone of
several programs (both Amiga and PC). This was true even when I copied the GIFs
back onto another medium. When I copied an ASCII text file onto the Syquest
most of the file (the first 2/3 or more) was missing. Finally when I tried to
format another disk that was already formatted as an Amiga disk everything went
well until the very end when I got a "Not a DOS disk" message. The system
refuses to even come up when I have an unformatted disk in the drive.
I have checked by addresses (Syquest, CDROM and one HD). All are OK. They are
4, 5 and 6 respectively. The Syquest is the last physical device on the
external chain and is terminated. It does share an external case with the
CDROM.
Is there something I should do software-wise? Please help!!
Thanks.
Bill
