Hello, I would like to know if the Syquest removable drives are supported by FreeBSD 2.0. And if so, which one(s) - IDE? SCSI? I noticed that Syquest is not on the list of supported hardware. I do not have any experience with Syquest drives but I imagine it would look like any other IDE or SCSI drive. The crucial question is whether it requires special drivers. I have bought the Walnut Creek FreeBSD CDROM and am planning to install it to a new machine. I am trying to work out the machine configuration. I am keen on using the Syquest drives because this way I can switch between DOS/Windows (not my choice, work commitments) and FreeBSD (that's my choice :-)) simply by swapping the Syquest cartridge. I know that you can partition your disk for multi OS. My reason for not doing this is because of a previous bad experience where a virus mangled my MBR and it took me a hell of a long time to recover both my OS. Thanks in advance steven
