I have a MAC formatted ez-135 (syquest cartridge) and it has MAC OS version 7.1.It uses the MAC application, Silver Lining,  to detect the scsi port.
The disk boots fine off a real MAC with the same syquest drive I connected mine
to his MAC.

When I try to use SS to boot this disk, the MAC happy face comes up, then
the Silver Lining window, and then the drive light stays solid for a moment
and goes off and hangs SS.  I can't exit SS (the mac screen, even with alt-ctrl-shift-esc.)  If I switch to the workbench screen, I can't activate icons... until
I reboot.  I've tried this many times last night.  One time I got to the
Welcome to Macintosh screen before it hung.  That was the furthest I got.

Anyone have any ideas about this?

If its not too much to ask, along with your post to this group,
could your e-mail directly?  I can't always get to News.

Thanks!

I think you need Cross Mac and a mount list for the Mac EZ-135.
I know this is the case for the Zip drives so makes sence its the case 
for the EZ-135.
