   Could you be more specific as to 'cannot access'? The partition
doesn't show up? The files don't show up? The files don't run when
double-clicked? The partition is not seen by the SCSI card? What
precisely does it do/say?

   I have not heard of any formatting compatability problems between
the RF and the Syquest, or of any drivers being necessary. This all
sounds most strange. Since I haven't heard of any problems, there's no
FAQ or anything else; about the only thing that might be relevant is
the comp.sys.apple2's FAQ's section about troubleshooting: "provide
*lots* of detail"
