[DM-MUG] SCSI & SyQuest

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.

PS- Will the iWork software be in Des Moines on Saturday?  Minis and 
Shuffles?
