Hiya gang! Anyone out there have info on removable (aka cartidge) drives? I'm
looking at a Hard Drives International add here that has a Syquest 44 Meg
drive for $519. Anyone know how well these things work with the GS? They're
SCSI devices, so they shouldn't have any problems interfacing. Things I'm
worried about are a) what the system does when the cartridge is removed (ie.
does the Finder grey the icon like it does a 3.5" disk or does it still try
to access the sucker and get unhappy when it can't) and b) does it matter that
there's no driver for these drives (ie. will the normal 5.0.x SCSI drivers
work)? Any help you can provide would be MOST appreciated. I'd like to ask
Santa for one of these for Christmas... :) Thanks in advance!
