It can't mount it because mounting a disk requires that there be a driver in memory. I suspect that SCSI Tools is meant to remount disks that have accidently been unmounted. The people who supplied the software for your drive should have also supplied an INIT that you can place in the System folder of your non-removable drive. The INIT should do the following: 1. Check the SCSI bus for removable drives 2. For each one found, see if there is a driver in memory for that drive 3. If there is, continue. If there is not, then load one. If, for some reason, they failed to provide such an INIT, try to find one from someone who has a different brand of removable drive that also uses the SyQuest drive. As long as you are not partitioning your cartridges, it should work. Another thing you can do is write a program that you can run when you stick a disk in. This program would grab the driver from the disk and load it into memory and start it. This program would be pretty easy to write, and would give you a good excuse to try one of those compilers you bought two years ago ( note to those who do not know Darryl: he bought MPW about two years ago, and so far has only used it to write shell scripts ).
