John: 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 Schiller \X/ AMIGA! On AutoPilot in sunny Fort Lauderdale

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. Regards, John Chang Technical Support Manager Scala, Inc.

John: 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 Schiller \X/ AMIGA! On AutoPilot in sunny Fort Lauderdale

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. Regards, John Chang Technnical Support Manager Scala, Inc.
