   Some time back (a couple weeks ago, I think) there was a discussion of the
   Syquest removables and the fact that one can not boot up the Mac if the
   Syquest was not already booted due to the fact that the SCSI terminator in
   the Syquest needed power to terminate (that is unless the necessary
   hardware mod's were made to the Syquest).

   Well, my question is, Is there any problem with turning the Syquest off
   after the Mac is all boot'ed up?

It doesn't work on my machine.  After turing off the Syquest drive, my
internal SCSI disk does not respond (the MAC hangs waiting for disk I/O)
until I turn it back on again.
