Can anyone give a definitive answer on whether those 45MB removable
hard disks (based on the SyQuest technology) for the Macintosh be
used on the Apple IIGS with a SCSI card?

Presumably, it would work just like another hard disk, but what I
really want to know is if the cartridges can be mounted and unmounted
without rebooting?  For example, will the Finder say 'Please insert the
disk: Cartridge2' when you took it out, just like any floppy disk?
Does the hard disk driver in GS/OS know there is such a thing called
a removable hard disk?

Thanks.
