It was a while ago now, but IIRC, the SyQuest comes with an app that is
installed under the PC.  I did this and it reported no SyQuests present, or
something like that.  (And of course I couldn't get rid of the damned app
afterwards.  Deleting everything I could find still left it iconised on the
backdrop, or whatever.  That's PC's for you :-( ).

I suppose you're going to tell me the totally obvious way to get this to
work now, eh? ;-)
