First of all, I'd like to thank all those who answered my prior question about the SyQuest drive, I've found the needed application and it seem to do it job, but still, I can't make the disk appear on the desktop! While in MacOs, I'm using the SCSI cdev to force mount :-) the SyQuest, but A/UX seem to ignore that cdev (and other cdevs too, BTW), so: 1) is there anything I can do, using an A/UX command? maybe I should format the disks under A/UX (I hope not...) 2) Does anyone knows of a cdev, equivalent to SCSI, that will work under A/UX or of a way to make SCSI work? Thanks in advance, O.S.

Most of the ones that I have seen allow you to make the drive "automount" which means it will magically appear on the desktop when you bootup. Check through your docs for the formatter, you might find something in there that will help. ..

I've been able to successfuly use a syquest drive under a/ux as a unix file system using the SCSIFixPageError utility, SilverLining disk utilities, and mount and umount. But I've not tried to use the syquest as another macintosh volume, which, I guess, is what you are tring to do. I remember something about a limit of one (1) macintosh volume. Anyone know this for sure? Tom Unger MITEM

It has to be that since I have three Mac volumes on the desktop now ;-). -- Marcelo Gallardo ...!princeton!deadzone!marcelo Test and Evaluation Specialist marcelo@sparcwood.princeton.edu Princeton University marcelo@phoenix.princeton.edu Advanced Technologies and Applications (609) 258-5661
