- If you don't have the SyQuest ready when you boot, you will also need to
- mount it yourself. This can be done with either a mountlist entry and mount
- or use the SCSIMounter tool, which I think is on the Fish Disks. As long as
- you partition cartridges in the same way, you can swap them with little
- trouble. I have been doing this for several months now with no problems.
- They are a great way to add more disk space; have fun.
