Does this actually work?  I have a Syquest drive and would be  very
interested in
transferring stuff back and forth from Macs (since it seems that the Mac is
the computer-that-I-must-have-on-my-desk-to-be-cool here at UT)

I would think that the disk formats would be different, since Apple tends to
want to keep thinks like that to themselves, but if Syquest has a proprietary
format that they use for their drive, it seems as if that wouldn't get in the 
way. 

Anyone have experience with the Syquest ST-> Mac and back?  Care to 
share some tips?
