I added a SCSI card to a G4 so I could use an old SyQuest EZ drive and
an external SCSI hard drive. It was tough to find drivers after all
these years, but I eventually got the SyQuest to work under OS9 (but
not the hard drive), and the hard drive to work under OSX (but not the
Syquest).
Only remaining problem is one of my SyQuest cartridges is always
rejected (the others work fine). I assume the cartridge has not aged
well, and data is lost. Data isn't all that important anyway, but are
there ideas for how to rescue from the Syquest?
I was also wondering about whether I need to "terminate" the SCSI card
when no devices are plugged in. My start-up seems slower, and was
wondering if this might be the cause. I've run TechTools 4, and
everything seems ok.

Shuffles?
