- I have EZ135 on a Squirrel SCSI on a 1200 and have no trouble booting with
- drive on or off, cart in or out. The EZ also works great with
- PC-Task3.1. I use it as a 'D' or it will also boot MSDOS if I set it as
- a 'C' drive. Using the CDROM drive and EZ in PcTask I can copy the
- CDROMS to the EZ, etc. It is a great product and has given me no
- trouble. I never use more than one partition on a cart however.
