My company recently purchased SyQuest removable drives to connect up
to an Amiga 2500 and my 2000 at home.  From home I am running GVP's
controller and at work I am using Amiga's.  I noticed for one thing
that the Amiga's controller requires that the first partition
be a non-ffs format for it to work.  So the disks I format on my 2000
won't work on the 2500.  And lately I've been getting the aforementioned
corruptions and I have only been performing disk changes on power down.

Is there a way to 1. make the disks more compatible?
2. Prevent this corruption?
