- Summary: Question about use of Syquest hardware with IIgs
As I understand it, the hardware responsible for reading Syquest (and
compatible) removable hard-drive cartridges are SCSI compatible. Theoretically
therefore, they should be able to work fine with an Apple IIgs equipped with
some sort of SCSI card. The question I have is this: would the cartridge
have to remain online _all the time_, or is one able to drag the hard drive
icon to the trash, thereby ejecting the cartridge. I'd especially be
interested in hearing opinions from people that already have a Syquest/
compatible removable hard drive equipped to their Apple - thanks!
