I recognise the Syquest you mention. They can be run in an XT as 5 meg
devices, 306 track, 2 head, 17 sector/track.

Manual on 'em says apply power and no controller first. Try 'em on a
controller ONLY if they spin. I watched someone who ignored that advice fry
two controller boards . . .

I have one drive believed good, a couple known dead & perhaps half a dozen
cartridges if anyone wants 'em. Cheap. Mail here won't work. (613) 730 5201
