Have a look at amigafaq (Syquest)!

Here is a piece out of the Amiga-FAQs:

  7.4 How to mount MsDos-formatted Syquests on Amiga
  ==================================================
  
     To mount a MSDos-formatted Syquest on Amiga, you need with an (DOSen)
  Adaptec-Controller the following Mount-entry in `DEVS:Mountlist': If
  your medium does have more than one partition, you need to copy the
  following Mount-Entry for every partition and give each partition
  another name (eg. SyC:, SyD:, SyE:, etc.) You don't need to change
  LowCyl and HighCyl for each partition; CrossDOSFileSystem does that
  automatically.
  
       SyC:   /* SyD:, SyE:, etc. */
               Filesystem      = L:CrossDOSFileSystem
               Device          = scsi.device
               Unit            = 2
               Flags           = 1
               Surfaces        = 1
               BlocksPerTrack  = 1
               BlockSize       = 512
               Reserved        = 1
               Interleave      = 0
               LowCyl          = 0
               HighCyl         = 524287
               Buffers         = 128
               BufMemType      = 0
               Stacksize       = 4000
               Priority        = 5
               GlobVec         = -1
               DosType         = 0x4D534800
               Activate        = 1
       #
  
     For different (DOSen) controllers this entry should work, too, but
  maybe you have to adjust it. When inserted, the Syquest-270MB medium is
  (in this case) automatically mounted (as drive SyC:) and can be used
  with help of the CrossDOS-Filesystem as usual.                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
                                                                           
           

This mountlist solved my problems in reading PC Syquests with the standard
CrossDOS that came with WB 3.1!

Herbert
