Ryan-
I've used Silver Lining 5.16 to format Syquest cartridges for A/UX.
I think it is provided with Cirrus brand Syquest drives, but it is
available as a separate product. It can format a variety of drives,
and includes some other functions. I've heard that Microtech provides
a formatter for A/UX with their Syquest drives, but I've never seen it.

BTW, Silver lining supports the different types of A/UX formatting as well.

Good luck.
