(poweroff first) Seriously, though. I bought it out of a Mac catalog, discarded the Mac cable and installation disk (hehehehe), plugged it in, powered up, and formatted the disk... One problem, though, is a lack of auto-eject (like the floppy) It makes the unmounting/ejecting a bit weird. The NeXT asks you to eject the disk when you drag it to the recycler or eject...so you have to push the button on the SyQuest (no big deal really, just not as convenient as the auto-ejecting drives.) The disk also seems to screw up the filesystem when it is unmounted when a file is still being used off of it...this must be NeXTs fault. I tried the diskejectfix that's available, but it doesn't seem to do anything. You also won't want to remove the disk without unmounting/ejecting it...also a drawback to manual eject. Overall, it's a decent drive, especially if you need compatability with Mac SyQuest's. I'd suggest an OD of some kind, though...the 120 meg 3.5" drives look like a good prospect or one of the larger NeXTlike ODs.. --Brandon -- ...............................................................................
