Sysop and All, I have an 88 Megabyte SyQuest removable cartridge drive connected to an UltraStor SCSI controller card. This is on a 486DX-50 with 8 megs of memory running OS/2 2.1. The problem is that while the driver I am currently using will correctly work with my 170 meg standard SCSI drive (non-removable), it will not correctly deal with the SyQuest drive. I can access the drive, but it reports it as being 30 megs and will not allow me to access files that I know are on the drive. The only driver files I can find for OS/2 which came with either the controller card or the SyQuest drive itself are for OS/2 1.x. Is there any way I can get these 1.x drivers to work with 2.1? If not, which I suspect is the case, is there someplace on CompuServe I can find the latest drivers for this card or perhaps a generic driver for SCSI removable drives that will allow me to start using this drive? As you can imagine, loosing an 88 meg chunk of disk space is a painful experience. <g> I have asked this question in the OS/2 forums as well, but thought someone here might have some insight as many hardware drivers seem to be stored in the libraries here. Thanks in advance! -Aaron

Corel sells a SCSI interface package called "Corel SCSI". I use it to access my SyQuest drive under DOS and OS/2. You need an ASPI driver from your adapter manufacture (UltraStor) to provide the ASPI interface.
