I have a problem with a Syquest 555 removable-media drive that I think is 
unusual. First, my setup. I have an A2000 with 4 megs of fast ram, 1 meg of
chip ram. a Hardframe 2000 SCSI controller, 2 Quantum 40 meg drives, 
flickerFixer, and a Syquest 555 drive. The Syquest drives works great. I 
can write to it and read from it with no problems until I write-protect 
the cartridge. Then I get R/W errors whenever I open the partition from 
workbench. All the files appear on the Workbench screen, but I get R/W 
errors if I also open any drawers on the partition. I get no errors if I 
use the CLI. Does anyone know what is happening here. Is it a Hardframe 
problem? Thanks for any insight to this problem. It is not a real major 
problem because everything works fine if the cartridge is not write-protected.
