http://www.macdrivermuseum.com/disk.htmlKnock yourself out. It says that the drivers work with 44 meg drives, and possibly 88 meg drives. Give it a shot. That is a nice haul! { candyPunk }

Sometimes getting a removable to appear on the desktop is a bit of a challenge (even if you have all the original manufacturers drivers, etc.). Trick one is to turn on the removable drive well before turning on the Mac. That way when the Mac or or the driver scans the SCSI bus at start-up, it finds the removable. Trick two is to make sure that "Mount at Start-up" is selected in any control panel associated with the drive. Trick three is to use any sort of drive utility program to see if it can "find" the drive and mount it. I have found that even Apple's own basic "Drive Setup" app can sometimes get a recalcitrant drive to wake up, mount up, and show up. Oh, and trick zero is to put media in the drive, but I am sure that you know that. Although some disk utilities will tell you that an empty drive is on the SCSI bus, the drive will not appear on the desktop without media in the drive.Good luck, G4From128k by Day: Mild-Mannered Engineer and Trapeze(tm) Artist

didn't syquest drives use the SCSIProbe extension for remounting? have you got that and SCSIProbe installed? dunno, never had one but that tidbit shook itself loose from the cobwebs for some reason or other . . .jt  ™.

Also, make sure it's terminated...my old Iomega Bernouli drive would NEVER mount when we needed it until we got a terminator. That only made it so much better, but it certainly helped{ candyPunk }

To clarify: Try putting the media in the drive before you boot the Mac. It works for Zip drives; it might work for a Syquest. Official 68kMLA Music and NeXT Expert

It does indeed work. That's how I use it. Once you get to the desktop you can eject disks and put new ones in without a hitch. I have a 200 drive, and the 44 meg cartridges for some reason won't be seen at start up, just the 200 meg ones. It may just be my drive or disks or something.... dunno ________________

The earlier SyQuest cartridges cannot be used as startup disks from a cold start; as such they will not mount at system startup. Try the SyQuest website http://www.syquest.com for drivers.
