It sounds like you're using an older package. The last/latest is available from SyQuest's Web site <http://www.syquest.com/drivers> and should solve the problem. It's a pretty solid piece of work, although it will ask that you redo your carts with older drivers to be certain that all works as it should. Hope this helps. Also, many thanks to all of you who shared information on Sonnet's L2 G3 upgrade cards. Looks like my 6500/250 may get a new lease on life as a result of your thoughtful suggestions.
