I am wondering if anyone else has experienced troubles using a syquest removable drive on a system 8.1 - 9.1 on a PCI powermac?
I bought several drives recently that came with a bunch of shrinkwrapped cartridges. I wanted to be able to transfer a large quantity of work between home and office. On my 9500 at work, I began to get random boot up problems. During the boot process, it would halt with an error message about an appleshare problem and a numeric error number. If I booted with extensions off, I could start. Extensions on, it would not start. I would re-install the system and carry on for days/weeks/ etc. until the same error would happen again. Finally (I feel stupid about this now), I disconnected the syquest drive and it booted just fine, even after getting the system error message. If I hooked the drive back up, it would not work. Disconnect it - no problems. I tried using the same drive on a 7200 at work and it would not boot even once if I had the drive connected. It's been a while now, but I believe it might have booted if I turned the drive off, but left it connected. This same problem happened with another drive as well. Now, my 9500 doesn't seem to work with my external burner anymore, although it does work fine with a scsi scanner. Not sure whether this is related or not? Any ideas of what is going on? Are my drives bad? Are there incompatibilities? I tried switching over to Silver Lining Lite, but it didn't change anything. I have disconnected all these drives and am afraid to use them until I sort this out. Any help would be appreciated.
