Well Dennis, here we are again together. People are going to begin to
think we are the same person. :)
I just ordered a SyQuest-44 removable media hard drive. I have a C
Ltd. host/controller (not bought through Abel :). I am going to have to see
how I will drive the SyQuest when I get it.
You might want to take a look at INFO mag. #26 pg. 48 which refers to C
Ltd.'s SCSIDos 3.0 as "including a 'roll your own driver' program that lets
you build a custom driver for just about SCSI interfaced device". I haven't
looked at the program on SCSI 3.0 but I may need it to use the SyQuest.
You may want to consider the SyQuest as an alternative to tape backup. It
is usable as a hard drive, could be used to do backups, and is reasonably
priced. I ordered mine from Mac-Zone for $625 US including one 44 meg
cartridge. I ordered a second cartridge for ~$90 US. Mac-Zone is at
1-800-248-0344 and is based in Seattle, WA.
Let me know if you decide on a SyQuest and I'll let you know what I
ended up with for a driver. I know it is possible as C Ltd. was selling the
SyQuest with their controllers.
