Most likely any extentions or control panels installed
for the SyQuest or the tape drive popping an error
when they don't pind thier hardware attached. Stuff
like
that is just supposed to not load or load and self
disable but badly written extentions and control
panels can cause errors like that. I'd dump the
SyQuest drivers, they're junk and other utils do a
better job with those drives.
