I have a syquest drive, and on hobbes there is a syquest driver but I have
postings where people use the syquest drivers to work with zip drives.  I too
had problems with my removable syquest until I got the drivers from hobbes.
Personally, I prefer the lockflt driver which locks the drive for the session.
Just a question of whether you want removability with slow access, or fast access
with no disk swapping...
