If you buy a Mass Micro Data Pak, it comes preformatted with utility
software and the DataPak init that lets you treat the drive as a giant
floppy, i.e. you can drag the icon to the trash to dismount it and
then you can eject it.  I do not have any special inits in my system
folder and SCSI tools does its stuff.  The driver is on the disk, if my
memory serves me correctly.  Howvever if you think you need thes inits
then they should be on the drive when you get it
and also Mass Micro include a floppy utility disk. 
 I can imagine them forgetting to
either format the drive or insert the floppy but I iamgine that have
both missing is a rare occurence.  Here I am talking about the
cartridge as "the drive" when you buy the motor base, it comes with
one cartridge and floppy.
