-
- Yes and no. The Rev C SCSI card doesn't know about removable hard
- drives, so it may not inform the computer if you change cartridges,
- leaving the possibility that you'll write data onto the wrong
- cartridge and destroy the directory in the process.
-
- This MAY only affect ProDOS-8.
-
- I wouldn't recommend it, though - get a RAMFast or a HS SCSI if you
- want to use a SyQuest.
-
- I've been using a SyQuest with an HS SCSI for a couple of years, with
- no significant problems.
