GVP+SQ5110C Strangeness
I have an interesting dilemma:
About two months ago, I bought a Syquest 5110C dual-format cartridge
hard drive to add to my setup. I bought it because I liked the idea of
being able to use 44-meg cartridges for some files, and 88-meg carts for
things that required more storage.
Well, it reads and writes both formats fine, but NOT interchangeably.
If I boot up with an 88-meg cart in the drive (or as the first one I
install after boot-up), should I insert a 44-meg cart, I get a "Not a DOS
Disk" requester pop up.
I was wondering if this is a quirk in the controller software (I have a
GVP Series II HD controller – A500 version – with version 4.13 of the
GVPSCSI.device software. I'm running under DOS 2.1, KickStart 2.04) or a
problem with the drive itself.
I'd appreciate any assistance anyone can offer.
