Thanks for that suggestion; unfortunately it doesn't make any difference.

In fact, I've now found the SyQuest drive is also affected and the
Silverlining driver mounts SQ Carts as read-only, telling me something on
the lines that the connection is unreliable. If I use the PC Exchange
driver, mounting a cart just crashes the Mac. 

I've also updated to System 8.1, but that hasn't made any difference. 

I'm waiting for some drive sleds to arrive that I ordered from Siberian
Outpost and I'll put the external drive onto the internal bus.
