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.
