Symantec Utilities for the Macintosh provide a generic SCSI driver to
access the physical blocks of a disk drive. This driver works fine
with the SyQuest 44Mb removable disk drive. It is possible to read and
write to the device using this driver.

But the generic SCSI driver that A/UX uses does not work with the Syquest.
It produces the error "More data than SCSI device requested" when trying
to read or write to the drive.

Does anyone know why this happens? What is different about the Syquest
that it does not work well with the A/UX driver. Many other drives work
fine with the A/UX driver.

Thanks,
Tony Cooper
