Syquest via emulation?

I have a SyQuest drive on both my PC & my Amiga. In order for the PC to be
able to use the SyQuest drive as a removable drive (like it should be)
I've been using Adaptec Easy-SCSI drivers. Do you know if it's possible to
read/write to a SyQuest cartridge that's been formatted & used with these
drivers?

Mike,
Using CrossDOS from Consultron should do the trick. From my conversations with
Consultron technical support, the Adaptec drivers are the easiest to work with
on the Amiga. You shouldn't encounter any problems in that regard.

You wouldn't by any chance know what the mountlist entry would be for a
Syquest 44meg drive that's been formatted with the EasySCSI software would
you?

Mike,
Sorry, I'm afraid I don't. I would use HDToolbox and do a device search on the
SyQuest. You'll need to find out the number of Surfaces, BlocksPerTrack,
LowCyl and HighCyl. Input the values into the mountlist and that usually
should do it. If not, give Consultron a call at (313) 459-7271.
