- My setup here is an A500, GVP Impact Series II HD+ (50Meg) and a SyQuest SQ
- 400 44Meg (actually 42Meg) harddrive. I got my SyQuest from a place in

- Darned if I know. I can't remember if it came with the cable or not but it

- One word of advice is that you might want to get a couple of cartridges as
- you will soon find out that one is not enough and you might as well spend
- your money while you've got it. :)
