I use Syquest drives from both Ehman and APS and prefer APS.  APS
drives are much better constructed than Ehman drives and APS 
telephone support is much better. I don't often copy files from one cartridge
to another on a single Syquest drive because its takes so much time
to mount cartridge, but I remember reading that the init supplied
with Syquest cartridges is required in order to do this.  The init
enables you to unmount a cartridge and have its dimmed icon remain
on the desktop so you can drag a file from the second cartridge onto
the dimmed icon.
