I've just installed A/UX 2.0.1 on my Mac II, and, well, here's my problem. I have a SyQuest 44meg removable drive. How can I get MacOS formatted cartridges to show up under the A/UX finder? I don't need to support switching cardtridges. If the OS thinks the disk is just a fixed hard disk, that's fine. Any help would be appreciated. I'm really confused here.

The formatter that it was shipped with did not support A/UX. I am currently using SilverLining from LaCie to format my SyQuest drive, and it works fine. I would suggest that you either call up whomever made your drive and ask if there is an A/UX compatible formatter, or if they don't have a formatter that supports A/UX, get a copy of SilverLining. With SilverLining you can put A/UX partitions on the disk, as well as MacOS partitions. Disclaimer: no, I don't work for LaCie; I'm just a satisfied customer. Hope this helps, Lawrence Miller
