: Worst case, you can use A/UX's formatting and partitioning utilities to set

A quick followup question....assuming you're willing to dedicate a
whole disk to an A/UX filesystem, how does A/UX work witht the removeable
cartridge drives like those from Syquest or IOmega?  Will the A/UX
SCSI driver work?  Can I use the standard UNIX commands to create and
mount a filesystem on them?  (They're great backup devices for the
MacOS, and it would be nice if they worked with A/UX too).  

Thanks in advance,
