Hi. I asked this question about the IDE version of the Syquest. Although I have not been able to purchase one yet, I did talk to people who have them already. The IDE version behaves just like an IDE HD. If you have a cartridge in at boot time, Linux recognizes it as a hard drive. The only confusion as of a few months ago regarded the question of how to unmount a cartridge with the system running. I don't know anything about scsi myself.
