Problems with SyQuest
5 messages in this thread
Today, trying to recover some R/W error on my Syquest I make a Verify Data on
Drive with my HDToolbox (I got a A3000T). The disc scan was interrupted by a
generic error message. After this I am unable to reuse the cartridge. The green
light on Syquest goes flashing and the drive refuse to work with this
cartridge. With other cartridges all works flawlessy. Trying to low-level
format the cartridge was unuccesful. After two hours the drive was already
formatting. I can't also (obviously) dos-format the drive, Partition it and, in
last analysis, use the cartridge. Is there somebody with my same problems ??? I
am running on a A3000T, 16 Mb Fast, 1 Mb Chip, Conner 120 Mb, Seagate 500 Mb, C
CD ROM Chinon with file-system Xetec and a Syquest 88Mb. I have burned a
cartridge ?

I'm not sure about the symptoms you talked about. But I once had a
Syquest cart that had an error on it. I just called up Syquest and was
able to perform a swap with them. The new cart worked perfectly.

Massimo,
I have a cartridge that is doing the same thing. I spoke to George Wong at
Syquest and he asked that I send it to him. He told me he can fix the
thing, that the cartridges don't go bad. It seems that my AMAX macintosh
stomped on this cartridge, and I guess the Amiga can do it too!

Thanx to both the friends who reply to my message helping me to solve the
problem. (Please excuse my bad english). Massimo Brogioni
Your English looks fine to us, Massimo. You wouldn't believe how
un-critical we are about such things! (Many of us are not too good with
it, and it is OUR native language.)
