The removable media is syquest cartridges of 135 and 230 mb size. I upgraded to the ezflyer but have a stack of 135 mb carts from the ez135. The problem seems to be the fact freebsd considers the syquest a hard disk (which *is* good for performance) but will not let me change the incore configuration of the carts. Was hoping there was a Magic way to change the incore config, like re-probe the drive without rebooting. thanks anyhow > > Hate to ruin my uptime stats.
