This is a major pain! The Finder recognizes floppy disks I'm using an APS Syquest drive with no problems. I think the reason it works is by accident. The main drive I'm using for A/UX was partitioned with Silverlining, as was the Syquest cartridge I'm using (with two A/UX partitions). I think that since the Silverlining driver has already been loaded in memory when the A/UX drive booted (with MacPartiton), then the cartridge doesn't need to boot to use this driver (I'm guessing!!). I can simply install the cartridge, let it come up to speed, and do a mount on one or both of the slices I'm using. Unmounting the cartridge doesn't remove the driver since it's still being used the other HD. Andy Peterman treehouse!andyp@gvgpsa.gvg.tek.com
