My new Syquest drive should show up today so I'll be able to answer all
your questions.  I paid $899 for the unit, considering that it comes with
a case, the great ICD Host Adaptor, and all the necessary cables, etc.
for the addition $200 over the cost of the mech alone, I think its well
worth it (the Host Adaptor alone runs $125)  Reports from the field indicate
that the Syquest works fine with Mac and MS-DOS partitions, and thats why
I bought the unit, one platter for each OS.  The three companies currently
marketing the removable for the ST is Toad of Maryland, Carter of Ohio, and
ABCO in Florida - Atari's units is due soon, but again, too late and for
to much money...
