[comp.sys.amiga] Syquest removeable drives on a 3000?

wright@etsuv2.etsu.edu (BRIAN WRIGHT) (12/19/90)

Hello,

     After pricing of hard drives and such, I have decided to check out the
Syquest removeable drives.  The problems is that I have a 3000 and am not
too sure if it will work properly with the 3000's SCSI.  Yes, I do know it will
have to be external, but I am willing to go that way to get removeable.

     Is there anyone who has successfully hooked a Syquest drive to a 3000's
SCSI port (external or internal).  Did it work properly?  Where did you get
it?  How much was it?  Thanks in advance for any help...

	I have a SyQuest on my A3000... and it seems to be working just
	fine (although I had a little trouble with my first drive and
	had to have it replaced...).  The only tricky thing was the
	SCSI termination.... Anas I remember, I had to remove termination from the A3000 motherboard fort 
	to work properly.... leaving the internal HD and the SyQuest terminated

	The other tricky thing was the power and SCSI cables... I decided to 
	use the internal 50 pin connector for the SCSI cable and routing
	it and the power cable was a bit tricky...  But it does work fine.

	Good luck.
