- No matter where on the SCSI chain the Syquest is, (or any other removable
- media hard drive), the system will wait for it to make up its mind and
- report whether it has a disk or not. The exact same thing happens with
- my Zip and my Insite floptical. You either get used to it, or you keep a
- disk in there. If you have it mounted in the internal drive bay, I
- suggest you keep a disk in it anyway -- you don't want to suck dust in
- through that drive...
