SyQuest EZ parallel model works
Just in case anyone's interested, the parallel port model of the
SyQuest EZ 135 drive works just fine with Executor. I haven't
tried writing to a MAC formatted cartridge yet, but it reads a DOS
formatted cartidge without fail for me. I also stuck in a MAC
formatted 135 cartridge (they come that way from the factory!), and
didn't get any errors in Executor, which leaves me to believe it will
work (writing to it in MAC format). If that's the case, then it seems
like a nice marriage could be formed between the EZ drive and
Executor, since the EZ 135 cartridges come pre-formatted for MACs.
You wouldn't need to use the "makehfv" anymore, because you'd have
135MB of EZ drive disk space to work with. As soon as I assure myself
that writing to a MAC formatted cartridge in Executor won't render it
un-reformatable in DOS, I'll try writing to it and post an update of
the results. Just thought some of you might be interested...
