[comp.sys.amiga] SYQUEST 44R & A3000 & A2091

hutch@thor.acc.stolaf.edu (07/31/90)

I have some interesting fact to share with you and need some help.  We just
recently hooked up Supra's version of the SyQuest 44R to an Amiga 3000.  To
my surprise it seems to work completely - even when you change disks.  The
3000 HD controller senses the change of disks and seems to be performing
diskchanges like it was built to support removable media drives.

But woe I cannot get the SyQuest to work with a 2091 reliably.  I can format
the drives and access them, but as soon as I try to write any data to the
drive the error "Disk Empty has a READ/WRITE ERROR" appears.  

Anyone using a Syquest Drive on a 2091 or any one at COMMODORE that is willing
to help me please do so.  We have two of the SyQuest drives and need to solve
this problem soon.  If it means using a differnt controller than so be it.

Any hints, clues or questions are more than welcome.

Sincerely,
