- 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...
